Well, it's coming down to the wire on getting my dress finished. The party is TOMORROW night! ACK! Honestly, though, I think I will get it finished in time. The hardest and most time consuming part, the bodice, is already done.

I have been reminded, first hand, why couture is so expensive. There is so much time and hand-work involved int he process ( Read more... )

OMG! I miss you, too! I've been feeling so guilty about not being on the forum. And yeah, this is exactly where I've been. I've been working really hard, but it's turning out nicely and I'm so excited!

You are too sweet with the compliments! LOL You didn't know I had that IN me, did ya?!?! LOLZ!

Yep....I'm a barrell full of surprises! LOL

Oh!!! Thank you sooooo much!

You know, I always tell people sewing's not really "hard"..it's just time consuming and takes patience. The patience is something I'm realizing I have more of now that I'm *cough* older. LOL

YOu are so sweet to comment on my post. It made my day! ♥

your welcome, you really did an amazing job. I always see people make there own dresses and stuff but I never even tired it. You know reading about it and actually trying it out, so kudos to you, by the looks of it you really got it all figured out :P
I don't think I'll ever do it though, I hate math... and measurements is in there somewhere. LOL I'm a joke .... who'd believe I have an accounting degree huh??

*big head* your too sweet BB ♥ , I didn't say anything that wasn't true ♥♥

Accounting??? Yikes! You brainiac, you!

Again, thank you so much. I was just commenting to the other girls that I should use my skillz to get a job in the costume department of "Twilight" or "Bone Deep"!!!

Muahaha....

I can barely knit squares, so I'm in awe of your talent. I love the fabric, and I can't wait to see the whole thing. I hope you get it finished! Fingers crossed...

Oh!! Thank you sooooo much! It's really been a labor of love, and I can't wait to finish it.

(Seriously, I need to get my tail off this chair and go get back to work! LOL)

Honestly, though, knitting is hard! I tried once and couldn't keep the stitches even lengths. At least with sewing, a machine does the majority of the work. I just get the credit! *giggles*

Now. How can I use these skills to get a job making vampire costumes for the Twilight sequels? He he.....muahahah!

Amazing, amazing talent, Jenni! I am in awe too, hon. *hugs* I love your choice of fabric, the color, the style, the everything! Roberto will LOVE!!

Hubby walked in, smiled knowingly at the tears and said "Some designer site?"...... I said "Yeah, the designer's name is Jenni!!"..... Hubby, "Wow, she's really talented."....... Me, "Yeah, I KNOW!!"
