Featured on Sue Box

I got some of the best news last night!!!! I was jumping up and down and screaming!!! I got so excited I was sick to my stomach and had goose bumps or hours.

Tammy's Wedding dress was published on Sue Box's web page. For those of you who do not know who she is, she digitizes for embroidery machines. In my opinion she is the worlds best! Sue is would redounded and to own some of her programs is like owning gold. If you love to machine embroider and have not seen her stuff you must check it out. Mom has saved or months to buy her stuff.

Her is the link to about the location of where it is featured. Once you click the link you have to click the picture with the purple quilted wall hanging called "New from our embroidery friends" and then you click the button until you get to the dress.

Ok here is the story Tammy found this Jessica McClintock dress at a thrift store for $20.00 and brought it to me and said can you make this look more my age and more like a wedding dress for me?

Me being me got excited right away and was like oh yeah I get to embroider sew and alter you bet I will. So it started. We pulled out the Sue Box lace Collection image sheets and she picked a cute one but it was just not quiet right  but it was not quite right and because she is the bride and the customer I was like ok after a a  lot of trying to change her mind.

After she left I was like mom....and my Mom said just stitch out a few pieces and then you pick two others you think would look better and stitch a few of them out and then let her choose after that. So mom and I flipped thru the pages picking our favorites and then got down two the two best.

On the following Thursday she came back to have a fitting for the dress and to see what I had gotten done on the dress. Needless to say she picked the one that was my moms favorite and one of my favorites and decided to go with our picks. So the long hours of 16 hours a day for 6 days began of stitching them out and then connecting them and then hand sewing the lace on which took another 2 days. I had to re-size the pieces to make them work for the dress they were not really meant or clothing test and re-do.

She Came to see the final results and to check the final fit and cried. Tammy said she did not think she would have something that gorgeous she thought it would just dress it up. The lace actually looks like it was designed for the pattern on the dress.

When Tammy got home she published to her facebook and so did I and I posted to my Burda page. We got a lot of nice raves and then the bad ones came in. Once person even said it looked like a table cloth with lace, and the Burda page it got 10 votes and some people voted it low so it is only rated a 4 star  now.

Well what do you think that did to my pride but after a few days I was like I know this thing is gorgeous lets see if Sue Box herself agrees with how I did on my stitching and my choice of lace. Only after tons of talking with my mom and her having to almost beat me to get me to do it. So I sent in the pictures and a small story of the dress and then last night I went to just check to see because I had not heard from them and I opend the page after 2 months later of submitting and there was my dress my name and they even called it a designer original!. I know I know not that big of a deal but yes it is she does not post your things unless they are good enough!


So now I know it is not a table cloth with lace!
