I posted a question on here a while back asking if it was crazy for a bride to be who just started sewing to think of sewing jackets for her bridesmaids...Well, the rookie pulled it off! I have sewn 5 matching bridesmaids boleros for my girls. Anyhow, here is a picture of one.

you can tell by the frumpy unenthused look on my face, it cameclose to the wire and has kept me quite busy. I am concerned with onethat I had to make bigger than the rest, I think the sleeves are WAYtoo big. I won't see her until 2 days before the wedding so hopefullyit doesn't look too bad and/or I can take them in enough to look okay.They are made of the same champagne tissue taffeta as the dress, seenhere:

even lined it with a gorgeous brown fabric. Yay! Thanks SO much tothose of you who posted your encouragements on here, because otherwiseI might have farmed this out to someone and would not have a specialpersonalized, hand made gift to give to my best friends.
