Please vote!


Voting is up! Please vote for the LBD challenge!

You can read more about the dress, and its construction, here.

I also want to give a shout out to my photographer for this challenge! I usually take photos myself, with my tripod and remote. When I finished the dress, on Sunday around 5pm, I dressed up and went outside to take pics. I usually walk around the corner to a nearby easement (alley). I set the camera up and realized that the battery was dead.

The sun was starting to set, so I went to Plan B. I called a neighbor and asked if she could take some pics with my cell phone. (My former cell phone died last week and I had just upgraded to an iPhone 5c which takes pretty good photos.)

Stacy was a trooper! She quickly finished making dinner for her teenager and then she spent a lot of time and energy helping me out. Having a willing photographer who got into the process made the photo session a lot more fun!

THANKS, Stacy!

We have started on challenge #5. I won't reveal what the challenge is but I will say that for this one we have two weeks. So there will not be a reveal this coming Monday.

Have a great week!

  5. Each week's creation is more awesome than the last. This dress looks perfect on you and would definitely cause some oohs and aahs if you went to the event at Fort Mason. Well done.

  11. Been following your blog for a loooooong time (from Australia) but have never spoken up, but always love what you sew.
    When I opened your blog this morning, I wondered quickly why you had a pic of Madonna on your post!!
    This dress looks FANTASTIC on you and you look like a 20year old. Will now make myself a cuppa and enjoy reading up on your entries into this competition.

    1. One last thing. You know the voting motto in Chicago is vote and vote often. Well, I voted from my girlfriend's computer and had meant to vote from my phone and then from my computer when I got home last night, but sadly, I forgot. At least I got one vote in :)

  13. Voting must be hard for these FabricMart judges - and getting harder! Your work is stellar and I think, fwiw, your fit has been the best every week.
