Fake bridal veil project, entry 2
I went to JoAnn's after posting the previous sewing entry to acquire more lace. While they had another spool of lace in the same pattern, it wasn't exactly the same color - more of a stark white than the cream I had already pinned in. And they only had the one spool left, period. So I shrugged and bought it - that's one of the nice things about knowing that nobody will see it closer than many feet away!
I was able to use my mom-in-law's sewing machine, from circa 1951. (You can tell from the centenary medal they put on it.)
As I mentioned, it only does straight stitching, but it still works!
After I hemmed the whole thing (yeah, it's puckered, big deal for my purposes), I decided to hand-sew it to a hairband, so that I'd have a way of actually putting it on without having to hide my whole head. I ruffled it to give the affair some height. I think it came out pretty well.
Later this weekend, I'll put up photos of me in the whole outfit!
