Day 16: A Stitch in Time

While looking through all of my photos that I have, nothing made me more happier than just reminiscing about the High School days :) I truly do miss them and my friends I have made, but I know they are still my friend and living their own unique adventures :) Thank goodness for Facebook.  But what I decided to show through these pictures that makes me happy, is my love to sew and create new things.  For all the High School dances I went to I made it my priority to wear something that no one else would have, and by 100% me.   So I made every dress I wore :)  Here are a few of my favorites that I made.  The first dress is my favorite and I wore to my Senior Winter Formal :) 

(I was eating a cherry tomato when someone caught me off guard with this quick pic)

My Mom and I worked on this dress for a long time until it was just perfect.  For this Winter Formal, I wanted to make sure I could really move and dance in the dress, so instead of making it long and elegant, I stopped the length at the knees so it could be fun, twirly and flirty ;)

 Home Coming :) 

Yeah, my eye's were closed in this one, but I couldn't find any others that showed off my sweet shoes.

So this dress was a little different, I found this dress on a steal of a deal, but had to do some major modifications to the sleeves and back to make it modest.  And of course I made my shoes to go with it :)
