Tyla's Dress for Wedding

So here is Tyla's dress all ready for her cousin's wedding on Saturday.  Not a complicated pattern but oh the material was a real sod to sew.  The netting with glued on sequins was my problem.  My needle kept on getting gummed up with the glue and I had to stop every few inches to clean the needle which was very frustrating to say the least.  Never again please Vicky!!!!   In the meantime here is the finished dress and I will post a pic with it on her at a later stage.




Now to get back to some quilting.........

    I've sewn with a few impossible fabrics over the years. One was twill for boys pants, it kept breaking the thread and the other was a sweater knit that just would not machine stitch, so I did it by hand. The dress looks lovely.

      Thank you Heather, wow well done for doing it by hand! This little dress would have been too much to do by hand but I would have if it had become unbearable!

    This dress is so pretty and the quilt below . . .WOW! I am new to quilting, but I have been having a ball making Christmas quilts for my granddaughters. I was out surfing for inspiration when I came upon your site. Well, you are so far ahead of my abilities, but I can dream :) I am your newest follower and I would be honored if you visited and followed me back. I love sharing ideas, but most of all making new blogging friends and seeing that no matter where we live on this planet, we all have more in common than we ever have in differences.
    Your new blogging sister, Connie :)

      Hi Connie, welcome to my blog and being a follower. Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. I am also now your newest follower and wow, I see you also do woodwork! Well done on your quilting frame. You obviously enjoy hand quilting. Me, I'm in too much of a hurry to start on my next project so have tried to become proficient in free motion quilting about which I am passionate. I love your two quilts for your granddaughters. Well Done!
