To all who mourn in Israel, He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the LORD has planted for his own glory. Isaiah 61:3

Ruth DBK Boarding Suit: Soutache Sewing is Complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huzzah!!  SQUEE!!!!  Whoot Whoot!!  Laaaaaaaaaaa!!!  I'm Soooo Heppy!!!!  

Ok, I guess you can tell by my excited out burst that the soutache has all been sewn onto the Ruth boarding suit!!  Truly, I am so happy!  Tracy Gomez came through for me again and found some more soutache for me so I could complete the coat to the suit (thank you soooooo much Tracy!!!!!).  Needless to say, my fingers are more than thrilled with this develompent!!  

The collar was also sewn on.  I am not 100% pleased with it, but I keep telling myself that it can't be exactly like the original as I don't have the pattern from the original.  So, I have decided that it will do just fine!!

Hopefully tomorrow I will put in the lining, add the sleeves and maybe cut out the skirt!  Hurray!!!!  Yes, I know I am being optimisitic!!!

Sorry for the lousy pictures as I used my phone and it wasn't wanting to cooperate this morning...






Bring on the lining!!!

Be Blessed my friends!!

    I love it. I have to think about all the hard work of soutache sewing you did. I have so much respect for that.

      Thank you Emily! Soutache is something...I don't know what to call it. I just know that I don't enjoy sewing it down, but LOVE how it looks when it is all done!
      Blessings!

    You're probably the most patient person I've ever heard of... Not to mention your fingers seem to be made of steel! Omg! Can't wait for the final effect, it already looks gorgeous!

      Thank you Eleonora!
      I can honestly say that no one has ever said I was the most patient person...I am going to print this out to show my family! My fingers had cool little dents in them for a very long time, but thankfully they have smoothed out again! Thank you for your wonderful compliment!!

      Blessings!
