Happily Ever After
Recently I was given the opportunity to design and make a black satin aisle runner for a wedding. I trimmed the edge in red satin. Do you know how long it takes to sew a 75 foot seam several times over on a 75 foot runner? Well it's a loooong time! Then you may wonder how long it takes to iron it? Oh, only about 2 hours! Amy, thank you for the roses...the little unexpected gift as I left the reception. I'm enjoying them so much. Your wedding was beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to have a part in your special day.
I can't imagine how long it took, but I know it was a long time and it wasn't easy. Years ago, I made two flower girl dresses with ruffles, etc. out of satin; and vowed to never do that again!! Sally
It is beautiful! You did a wonderful job. It makes you long for a high speed sewing machine. You are so special to invest your time and skill for someone. Debbie
Hi Rachel I have been away and missed reading some of your posts. It has been great catching up with them. What a fabulous sewing job on the aisle runner, it looks great. Alison
Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment. It is sorta like a sweet visit on the porch. In this busy world with so many places to go and things to do, I value the time you spend here with me.
Oh, my goodness, what an undertaking!!! It turned out beautiful, though!
ReplyDeleteI hope your day will be wonderful!
Love, Esther
