Jane Austen Tour

Phew, this deadline slipped up on me too fast!  My brother did a lovely job on these pictures and he even gave up some t.v. time to take them!  I posted this dress in an earlier post but this is my official post for the Jane Austen tour happening at Feelin’ Feminine.  The dress was fashioned after a tent dress that I own, and inspired by the Regency time period.  Photos were taken in my backyard and bedroom (I had hoped to go downtown but maybe next time).  Enjoy!

P.S.  My brother’s name has nothing to do with Bob.  He just wanted to be funny.
                

Update

This is rather a mix of things (from news to blog happenings to sewing) but that is okay.

Two posts ago I asked you to please pray for my nanny.  Thank you for your prayers.  She died Sunday morning.  Nanny loved to sing and I know she is singing her praises with the angels!

I know I am quite behind on this but…over at Feelin’ Feminine they are having a Jane Austen tour (exciting is it not)!  They are hosting all kinds of Austen related things, so meander on over and check it out!  I did not think I would get to join in until…

I finished the dress I have been working on for a few months!  This is my first dress/outfit I have ever made.  And I did it without a pattern!  I am quite excited about it!  Here are a few pictures of it…

 

I hope to do a better photo shoot with it, maybe outside.  The inspiration was a tent dress received from my former employer.  I discovered that by tying a ribbon just under my bust it created the look of a Regency style dress!  I do not know what the fabric used is because it was something I found lying around the house.  The shirt was another Goodwill find (my favourite store).

What made the dress even more special was that I was able to wear it to our pastor’s last Sunday as our pastor.  He served our church  for twenty-eight years; his leadership will be greatly missed.

Well, what do you think?  I would like to hear your input good or bad!

I hope you all have a lovely day!

Through Christ,

Lady Helen
