    Thanks you guys! The Flowery paisley looking fabric is a cotton that was sent to me from Hawaii. That and the white were already cut squares that my husband's grandmother had gotten prepped to make a quilt. She passed away and his mom sent all her fabric out to me. So, the blue is a jean, and the tan was an old sheet. There's more of it, I was thinking about making a matching tam.

    See, now thats what makes your dress so unique. When each piece of fabric used has such a neat history. Are you selling it?

    No, not this one. It was kind of an experiment for me. There's a few things that aren't so profesh 'bout it. It's sturdy, just not as perfect as i wanted it to be. Also, I went dancin' in it twice already, heh heh. It was a learning experience and I think that each one I make after this one will be better. Can't wait to get a serger of my own.
