Hi. I've been checking out all you craftgrrls for geez, I dunno a few months now. My name is Jenna. I'm a painter, some-time gardener, and bead freak. My main craft is definately making jewelry for myself, my girlfriends and my partner in crime.
So enough about me. I have a question. I'm in a wedding next weekend. The place I ordered my dress from (two months ago) is one of those wedding mega stores (I'll call it Daniel's). As luck would have it I got my dress today and can't have it altered by them in time. Well I can but it's gunna cost me an arm and a leg and I don't think the bride wants me missing limbs...Normally I would bust out the sewing machine and do it myself but I'll admit it...I'm afraid to screw it up. The dress is celery-colored satin and I have never sewn satin before. All I really need to do is hem it up about 2".
Where's the question you may be asking??? ---> Can I cheap out and use velcro in this pinch I'm in? Can I use the peel and stick kind or do I have to use the iron on one? If I do have to use the iron on, will the adhesive leave any kind of mark on the satin that can be seen?
And I know how everyone hates it when there's nothing to look at so, here's a necklace and bracelet.
Thanks Ladies.
