Want to honor your mother's dress, but don't want to wear it? Let's use it to make "something old" for your outfit. Wedding satchels, garters, bow ties, ring pillows ... the possibilities are endless. I've been sewing for decades and "making new from old" for the past several years. Want to honor your future mother-in-law? Can you imagine her delight when you ask if you can turn her wedding dress into the ring pillow, chair backs/bows, or other items for your special day? Are you a bride whose father won't be walking her down the aisle or leading you during the father/daughter dance because he's passed? Let's honor him and keep him close the entire day with something that was special to the two of you.
