I wore my mother's wedding dress :)
But, using the dress for something she wants is definitely a better idea than thinking a daughter would want to wear it one day. |
Great idea! I have had requests to make anniversary quilts from bridal gowns before, but I like the fact that you got several items from the dress.
|
It is hard to start but great memories when you can see the items made from the wedding dresses instead of it being stored. I have made baptismal gowns and an angel for the top of my Christmas tree. want to make an angel for each of my children for christmas. I better get going.

That's a great idea! Maybe I'll do the same with my wedding dress that's been sitting in a closet for 20 years! I'm sure the first cut would be the hardest!!!

Where does she plan on using the pillows? Also, those of you who have made bassinette skirts from your dresses, did your bassinette have a hood on it? Was the hood covered with the bodice? When the baby outgrew the bassinette, was it kept for that child's daughter? I'm wondering if a new family heirloom tradition is being started.

My niece did that with her WD. To each their own. Mine is in a box someplace but doin't think I could cut it up or a Christmas tree skirt. Maybe cut it down for future DIL if I thought there was a thread of hope.....

Your very brave to cut into a wedding dress. My daughter has hers in a box and was going to save it for a daughter guess who has two sons.

If anyone can do this project justice it will be you, Rosy! This will be a beautiful tree skirt I have no doubt.
|
I love recycling projects.
