In partial fulfillment of my desire to do things naturally and sustainably, I've decided to sew my wedding dress and (two) bridesmaids skirts. Yes, skirts. I don't want to out-do myself! I haven't sewn anything for a couple of years since I bought my machine. And all I made back then were two pillow cases. Of course, I'm not only hoping to be natural and sustainable by doing all of this work. I also want everything to be unique to me and I want to contribute what I have to our upcoming marriage. Right now, I have time, creativity, and (apparently) a bunch of fabric. In a way, all of this work is my offering. It's my way of showing how much I care.
I realize this post isn't very much about nature or being outside, but our whole wedding is! Making the clothes allows everything to be customizable. I'll be using a lightweight cotton, for all of them, which will make the weather a good deal more bearable than if I (and my bridesmaids) were wearing something heavy, dense, and floor-length. I'm going to do my best!
