Project Complete

Ha Ha...2 months after I originally posted that I had a "new project", making a temple dress, the dress is finally complete. I have to admit that I did not work on it for awhile after posting the pattern picture. I really got into gear and started working on it the last two weeks. Most of my time was spent working on it this past week. As you can tell from the patten picture, I made a few changes. I had to add a sleeve, which was the hardest part of the change, since I had to make it myself, then I had to raise the slit in the front to be not so deep, and I had to lengthen the skirt. And then I made a few changes for comfort and practicality: I added gussets under the arms to allow for better movement and I added a little length to the already large pockets. I'm really happy with how it turned out, and just in time too! I'll be wearing it tonight. We're going to the temple tonight, with Mom and Dad and hopefully a few other friends and family. For those of you who are out of town, we're not being sealed yet. Don't worry, you'll all be notified well in advance, so you can plan to be there if you'd like. I'm so excited to be going to the temple with Joshua!
