So yesterday morning I woke up and went on an adventure to find fabric for a wedding dress. The trick was that I had to manage to keep the costs of the fabric low enough that I would still get paid enough to make it.
The dress is for a friend so I figured I would help her out. She told me she had a budget of about $500. Not much for a wedding dress. I wanted to get paid at least $400. Wedding dresses are a lot of work and take a lot of time. So getting paid $400 is not much when you look at it hourly.
Not only did we find everything for $150 including stuff for a couple ties. I am still going to get paid what I asked for and that means the budget went over by a slim $50. I am pretty happy with myself.
This wedding dress will be my last sewing project before I leave and it is going to be beautiful. I am excited to start working on it and not excited at the same time. I am sure there will be some interesting posts about it.
