Easter service on Sunday morning was so awesome! Got me really excited to live the rest of the year remembering that I am covered in God's grace. To celebrate this amazing fact, I had to express myself creatively. So, I made an Easter dress!
I used some of the Balinese fabric my hubby bought me, and a nice brown linen for the bottom. This was my first time making a fitted top and with a lining. I think it came out nicely. I had a few minor fitting issues, but those were remedied with some quick darts. After adding a tan belt and shoes I was set. However, it was raining all morning, so the pictures were the only time the top of the dress was seen. Boo! I'm looking forward to giving it a real debut as soon as the sun comes out!
Oh, we're housesitting for Hans' aunt and uncle this week, hence the lovely scenery.
So it was supposed to be more of the "chevron" look that's so popular right now, but it's really just a zig zag design. Using black and white, I put together triangles to create this lovely pillow for our new (old) chair. (Got the chair at an estate sale for $25!)
Also, FINALLY put some pictures up on the only wall space in our apartment. I think it came out nicely. Anyhow, happy Wednesday everyone!
Hooray for inspiration!
