So, I'm not a photo blogger. In case you haven't noticed. But today I am going to post some photo's to showcase a project that is coming up.
In May Catherine will be receiving First Holy Communion. I decided to help make this special occasion even more special I would use my wedding dress as the fabric for her Communion dress.
If I had more than one girl I would hesitate to do this, only because I would worry about whether I would be able to hand it down or not (you never know how sizes can match up). But she is my one and only girl (and God-willing will always be that way), so I felt like I could do this.
I never felt a real attachment to my wedding dress. I would have given it away a long time ago, but I never got around to it. For me it's just a dress, yes a dress from the most important day of my life. BUT Paul and I focused so much of our Wedding planning on the actual marriage part of it, that nothing else ever really mattered. Including the dress. I loved that dress, it was and still is totally me. It's modest, and simple it was everything I wanted it to be. But for the last 8 years the dress has been sitting in a box on the top of a closet collecting dust in my parents house.
Really, it's just a dress. Now I can do something special with it. I can in a way pass it on to my daughter and make it something special . And when my mom is done making the dress I will box what is left of the dress and save what I can for future sewing projects.
So before the cutting and ripping begins here's one last look at my wedding dress:
