Simple Sewing for Sun, Sand, and Surf
These have been done for a while, but somehow I haven't gotten around to shooting them until today. They are all pretty much no-brainers, which is good because I'm not sure I could handle a "real" project right now. Can you believe the wedding is this FRIDAY?! We have been pining away for the beach every day. So soon!
In the spirit of realism, these all have major wrinkles; the same sort that they will have from being packed! It's almost like I'm already on my honeymoon. Almost.
This is the backless sexy shirt. I used to actually have musculature in my back. Don't know where it all went. 
This is the softest cotton lawn. I didn't have very much of it and was going to make a skirt or sarong or something, but I'm glad I chose the dress/coverup. Very comfy! I'd really like to get my hands on some lawn in different colors. They sell it in white from Dharma Trading for cheap. It might initiate experiments in dyeing. Messy experiments. The fun ones are always messy, no?
This is cheap cotton voile. Not nearly as soft as the lawn, but also very light.
I also started a little cotton sweater. It's a raglan and I'm to the body. The mindless part! Perfect timing! It will come in handy this week when I need something to fidget with that I can't really mess up. Oh, raglans, how do I love thee?
I probably won't have any other projects to show until after the wedding, though there will certainly be pix of that. I finished the rest of the flower pin favors last night and printed up menus/info cards/programs. My work is pretty much done! All I have to do is show up :)

Woo hoo! Wow, the wedding is already here, can't wait to see the pictures. Have a great time and don't get stressed because nothing really matters except those vows. Good luck Friday!
