I have read somewhere that Bernina Enews is offering a $1,000 Bernina gift certificate and a featured article on WeAllSew for a wedding dress makeover. That could be a very interesting project. Even if you don't want to slash, cut and tweak the most expensive dress you are ever likely to own, I guess a trip to a charity shop might be an idea, and it would be a lot of fun to repurpose something that's only been used for a few hours.

And I was thinking.... There must be TQS members who can tell stories about what happened to their wedding dresses. In my mother's family it was the tradition for the bride to make a Christening gown for her first baby out of her wedding dress. Unfortunately that did not happen for me because my mother got married in post-war Germany in a dress borrowed from a cousin. And I didn't do it with my dress because I simply didn't have the skills at the time. But my own wedding dress is still very much alive and kicking. After my divorce I ignored it for years, and then had an idea. As a result my wedding dress has become part of a collection of costumes that is used by a fairly large number of theatre companies. Wouldn't it be funny if I'd go to see a play and suddenly an actress appears on stage wearing my old dress?!

But I'm waffling....... Just thought this was a interesting little titbit for our category of 'Everything Else'.

Good night everybody, and sweet dreams!
