Welcome Donnie, from the great state of Texas.
My Great Aunt, (passed away at 100+ years), supported herself and family on bridal alterations...She eventually was flown all over the world to design and direct others to make clothes for entire wedding parties....She sure did have a wonderful stash of exotic fabrics...
Do you have an interest in Crazy Quilting? Many of your small scraps from the bridal clothes would be wonderful in a crazy quilt!
Again, welcome to the board...check out our monthly bee swap and join us!
