As y'all know, i am in the process of planning my wedding for June. My best friend and MOH, Renee, is getting married 2 weeks before me, and, of course, i am her MOH. It's crazy times!
So this weekend i am headed up to Indiana for my final dress fitting and bachelorette party. It will be a joint party for both myself and Renee, so double the fun! We're going to a dinner theatre to see CATS!
The attire is of course the first thing we thought of, and instead of crowns, we decided that we'd each wear our rhinestone "bride" tanks. but we also wanted to have those cute sashes that say "maid of honor". being the seamstress, i decided to make them. here's the really cute part: mine is in her wedding color and hers is in my wedding colors :)
Here i am modeling them both, since the party hasn't happened yet:
(renee will wear teal and i will wear red)
It's gonna be a grand ol' time!

BUT, mine has a bunch more stuff on it, and was about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price :D

last weekend i made myself a nice little folio that i could carry around at work. i carry a smaller top-flip notebook, so the big folios dont work for me, plus i wanted a place to put loose papers and a pen...and maybe some post-its. here's what i came up with:
i had been saving this fabric (the cream with the flowers) for something special to make for myself, and its springtime so a little chubby birdy (who Diana and i have since named Dexter) seems appropriate!
the button is vintage from my grandmother's stash, as is the fabric which i commandeered from two goodwill finds. the blouses were obviously handmade, i would put them both circa 1970.
the yellow pockets are remnants from past projects. the whole folio is double-interfaced and i used the plastic bottom out of a reusable grocery sack (the kind you get at Publix) for some extra sturdiness. i cut a slit in the right side so that the flipped part of the notebook could easily slide in and out as needed, whenever i need to flip to a new page.
