***Sidenote: Cream cheese is perhaps one of the most delicious substances known to man***





Just call me "CARLA THE CONQUEROR"






Tears may have been shed.

Sleep was definitely lost.

Frustration met it's peak.

Don't look too closely or you'll realize I'm not really a seamstress

And it still doesn't hide my belly...

However, it is done!





I haven't sewn a dress since high school... but why should that deter me? Ha, someone should save me from myself sometimes.



Where are the little cinderella mice when you need them?


Just plugging along.


I have unpicked and re-sewed about 4 times already! Despise is a fitting word for this project.


Looking more like an electric blue potato sack than a dress... desperation and emotions are spinning out of control, so i decide to call it a night (at 2am).



Still managing a smile. Finished at 2 am! Flight leaves at 6 am... ugh.




I love my friends.

I sometimes lose sight of why I get caught up in projects and I apologize for the cuss words in my head.

My friends mean the world to me, and I will try to do what I can to make them happy (or their big day what they hoped). With all that my friends do for me.... what's a little sleep?

Wow, wow, wow. I'll definitely give you the title of Carla the Conqueror. I'm super impressed and it looks great.

the final product looks good. You did it. I would have ended up wearing sweatpants.

WOW! Good work! I agree with Becca. I would've shown up in something else entirely and just glared at all the judgers all day long, feeling completely and totally justified on the inside.

...or I would've stayed up until 4 a.m. refusing to accept defeat and then acted like that dress was only SUPPOSED to be half-sewn. I bought it like that.
