I would have never thought of making quilt out of my wedding dress. Of course I did finally cut the sleeves off to make it a evening gown. I don't remember wearing it but I do remember getting divorced after that. LOL

She's still on TV -- Create TV which is PBS. I can get it in New England and the Mid-Atlantic areas through Comcast. She's on Monday & Friday and still shows, at the end, something from her "attic."

My mother made my wedding gown but my daughters purchased their wedding gowns so....I recycled my gown into a christening gown for grandchildren. It was hard to make that first cut but very worth it in the end.

I love the stories about wedding dresses. Thought I would use material from my own wedding dress (I made it) for my daughter's christening but a dear aunt offered a family (2nd marriage) heirloom dress to use. Plus being pregnant and giving birth was traumatic enough.
My wedding gown is in the attic in original box my mother packed it in. I will be married 45 yrs this September - maybe I'll peek at it then and recall being 102 lbs with 21 inch waist. Oh, those were the days!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a christening dress for my granddaughter. I'm going to make her a purse and pillow for her wedding day.

Sounds like a great idea. I've never seen one.

Here is the wedding dress throw I wrote about in a previous post.

I have my mothers wedding dress and it is all satin. I would love to make a quilt. I can't cut it up.

I love the idea of wedding dress quilts. I didn't have a formal wedding dress, just a knee length dress. Think I will get it out and use it for a crazy quilt. I envision using using just it cut into different shapes and highlighting with embroidery stitches, etc. Now to just find the time...
