I'm a little behind schedule on my alt.sewing reading :-) Thanks for posting the pattern picture, Larisa. How lovely that dress will be. Now I understand about the accent waist ribbon, too. Did y'all already talk about her accessories?

Regarding wedding cakes, I had a friend make ours for an afternoon wedding in July. It was cake pans filled with fruit-flavored mousses, iced on the outside, and stacked on pillars like a regular cake. She assembled it moments before the cake cutting because it would all have melted. (108 degrees in the shade.) You can see in pictures it's a leaning tower of mousses! Nobody cared but my mother...

We haven't really discussed accessories. I know that she has asked me for a swatch of fabric so that she can take it shopping for things. I'm also giving her the mockup to take so that she can buy a new "squisher," as she calls her body shaper.

Your cake sounds delicious! I am not a big cake eater, but I enjoy decorating them. Now if they were serving "iced bridal brownies", I'd be making a bee-line to the dessert table. :-) I tried to dissuade her from making all three tiers with the same flavors, but she's pretty insistent. I think we're going to have a ton of cake leftover so I'm making the top round a dummy cake, since it's the one that is traditionally saved. I'm not telling her that, though. lol. I'll make them a fresh 6" round for their first anniversary. This cake would not freeze well for that length of time.

The book about which I was writing is titled Pattern-Free Sewing by Jeanne Stauffer, with few less than 200 pages of directions for making different items, some clothing and lots of home decorating. There are sketches that show all intricate details plus excellent photographs in bright colors that show the finished products. I have no interest in the company or the book except I am quite excited about making some of the items from it. Emily

Thanks for posting about this book. I think I may try to find a copy of it, or just maybe you might bring it the next time to come to SC and I could borrow it and mail it back to you??? Hope you get to come over sometime this summer. Barbara in SC and now FL

That will be great, if you're still there after mid-June, we can get together again for a visit. At the moment, I have some ocean blue plisse with boats, etc to make the little one a dress from one of the designs, the directions sound so easy. If she likes it, she know what she likes to wear, I intend to make several summer outfits. Emily
