Hello and welcome to love to sew I'm Helen the designer behind Helen's closet

patterns and cedar quilt co and I'm Caroline the owner of Blackbird Fabric's and B.F.

patterns. We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's the only thing worth talking

about. In this episode I am going to tell everyone all about making my own wedding dress from

designing to fabric shopping to muslining to hand sewing I'm going to share my

joys and lessons learned.

Oh, congratulations, Caroline.

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hi Ellen. Hi hi Caroline.

I am excited for this episode.

It has been a long time coming, hasn't it?

Oh my gosh, yes, it truly has. And I mean, first off, huge

congratulations to you on your marriage. Thank you so much. I mean, more importantly,

on the completion of your wedding dress though let's be real.

Yeah let's get those priorities straight. I made my own wedding dress y'all and it was no joke.

It was serious. I made it. I did it and I finished it. Yes, I cannot

wait to talk about it. Such an exciting episode. We're going to hear all

about your wedding dress journey and I think when you decided to make your own dress,

we already knew that this was gonna happen.
