Day 14 to 20 June Photo Challenge

Here are the next 6 pictures that were posted on the Facebook page for the 30 day pictures.

Day 14.

This is a quilt that Liana sewed a couple years ago. She pieced the pre-cut fabric and then hand sewed the binding on.

Day 15.

Liana made this blue dress two years ago for our brother's wedding. It has princess seams all around. It was very hard for her to make it a perfect fit (how princess seams are supposed to be). But in the end, it turned out really nice and a great dancing dress!

Day 16.

Happy Father's Day to all of those great dads out there!

Day 17.

This is the ring bearer pillow that my mom made for a wedding. It is just a simple yet elegant pillow made with burlap and stuffed with polyfill. She added ribbon and a decorative flower (chosen by the bride-to-be). This was for the same wedding I mentioned in Day 15.

Day 18.

When I saw this Cynthia Rowley pattern 2250 from Simplicity, and the purple hand-dyed cotton at a local fabric store, I knew that was the dress that I wanted to make for my brother's wedding rehearsal (2011). This was for a differe...nt brother's wedding than mentioned below. But this dress was a challenge and I would never make it again... ever. The front bodice alone is made from eleven pieces and has numerous darts and pleats which was very confusing. But it turned out ok and I'm glad that I finished it.


Day 19.

Here is another picture of my brother's wedding rehearsal in Chicago (2011). Liana and I were both the junior bridesmaids in the wedding. The dress that Liana is wearing now was taken from the same pattern that she used to make the blue dress shown in Day 15 for another brother's wedding. In the wedding, we carried umbrellas instead of flowers so that is why her hand is in a weird position.

Day 20.

Here is a bag that Liana just recently made specifically to hold her new camera that she just bought. The bag was made without a pattern---completely from Liana's imagination. The fabric on the outside and the lining is quilted and heavily interfaced to give the purse some body and to give the camera extra protection. Tomorrow's picture will be of the inside of the bag.
