Homecoming 2009

Ashlee went to the Homecoming dance last night with Thayne Thompson. They also went together to the Homecoming game the night before. Lone Peak played Brighton and won 23 - 7. It was an exciting game. Brighton has not only been undefeated for years, but no one has even scored on them for years!
Thayne, Ashlee, and one of her best friends, Whitney.
I made Ashlee's dress. It was much more of an ordeal than I planned on, but it was worth it. She loved the dress and looked so beautiful! The skirt didn't mach up to the bodice and so I unpicked all the pleats and redid them. . . (about 2 extra hours). When I had the whole dress sewn and ready for the zipper, which is the very last step, Ashlee tried it on and the skirt was twisted funny and didn't hang right. I looked over it and realized that the bubble on the bottom was twisted. After 2 1/2 hours of unpicking (I had to take dress apart to get the that seam), the dress was ready to be sewn again! Then, when I was about to sew the zipper in, I realized I had purchased the wrong size zipper!

Oh, Heather! The dress is beautiful. Sorry about all the extra hours you had to spend! I'm glad it turned out so well after all of that.
