Heirloom Blessing Dress 

Hello!  I was looking for material so I could finish a quilt top that I’m making with my mom, and I went to Fabric Mill in Orem and found it!!  They had one bundle left.  So I bought it!  The ladies there are so sweet.  It’s so nice to be able to go into a store and be greeted by the wonderful ladies that work there.  I really enjoyed talking to them.  If you’

re ever looking for fabric, go to Fabric Mill in Orem.  They are so wonderful!

Last week we worked on the March kitchen towel and open sew.  If you are wanting one or several every month, please let Tracy and I know that way we can double check with our list.  There’

s been so many changes on quantities, so we just want to make sure everyone gets their towels.  

This week we will be doing Heirloom Blessing Dress.

Barbara Christensen (who is a really  amazing teacher) will be teaching you pintucks, lace insertion, french seams and so forth.  So if you’

ve been wanting to make your daughter or granddaughter a beautiful blessing dress that you made with lots of love, come join us.

Supply List:

Cotton or cotton/poly batiste 

1 ¾ yd 60”

wide 

2 ½ yd 45”

wide 

This should be enough for dress and slip depending on the length of the skirt. 

DMC cording #8 blanc/white (we have at the store) 

Top stitch thread, heirloom 100% cotton (we have at the store) 

Begin looking for lace. It should have an edge on each side to sew to for insertion, or a wide lace finished on the bottom with top edge unfinished. If you use beading, it should also have an unfinished edge on either side. The amount to buy we will talk about the first class after you have decided how you want to embellish your dress. You can purchase batiste at Stitching corner. 

The following week we’re going to celebrate SewWhatEver’s 1st Anniversary!!  It’s going to be a surprise, but here is a hint, the gift for the 1st anniversary is paper.  That’s all I’m telling ya.  There’

ll be a kit fee of $3.50 on top of the class fee.
