FAIL but don’t really care…hahaha

soooooooooo I had a lot of leftover ribbon from the ribbon rosettes…so I made my own garters…I measured out the ribbon wrong on both the throw away garter (the one jae takes off at the reception and the the single guy catches) and the keepsake garter (for later ;-P)

but I don’t really care cuz it’s late and I’m out of ribbon now…=P
here’s how I made them

Need:
sewing machine
matching color thread
needle
2x ~12 inches of ribbon of choice
measured elastic band (around your thigh)
2x ~12 inches of lace (optional)
scissors
Accessories (optional) *mine were Hello Kitty Scrabble Pendants from Etsy.com =P

cut all materials…again…I forgot I was doubling up on the elastic band so I cut the ribbon and lace too long…Ribbon and Lace should be about 1.5 times longer than the measured elastic

my Hello Kitty Scrabble pendants! hehehehe so I didn’t think I’d be able to see the letters on the backs of the scrabble pendants so I didn’t really care which letter I got…well…the letters do show…I should have requested L’s for both of them but I only got lucky with the throw away garter that has an L scrabble tile…=T

so I put the lace between 2 layers of ribbon with as much lace as I wanted shown on the outside between the layers…so I can flip the ribbon inside out so none of the thread shows (2nd picture) and sewed all three layers (ribbon, lace, ribbon) together…I cut off the excess lace that won’t show…

sew the other side shut too to form a tube…

safetypin the ends of the elastic band to both openings…

and flip the entire tube inside out…

sew the gaping hole shut with needle and thread…sew on the accessory or pendant of choice…and voila! one tackified garter! =P

I made the keepsake garter with lace on both sides….=]

ESESSION PHOTOS ARE HERE!!!!

Double fail

so my darling Steph has let me know that the jars are difficult to get. Which means my registries have failed me. I’m also missing some items when I look online so again they have failed me. I’ll get the jars. Hopefully they will arrive by next Thursday.

Yay for bridezilla moments! And sorry to those I’ve trampled in my path of destruction. =P

FAIL?

Will post pics up soon. too tired.

the “wedding” nightmares have begun…well sorta…they don’t really have anything to do with the wedding day…just sort of marriage?

1. My diamond solitaire falls out of the prongs and I lose the diamond.
This HAS to be one of my biggest fears since it’s such an expensive ring which is why you will see me nervously fidgeting with the ring…often. =P

2. Jae decides he doesn’t want to get married and leaves me.
This scenario happens often in my dreams…I know I’m being irrational…so it doesn’t bug me much but this one ended with us calling off the wedding. =T

wheeeeeeee these are so fun! bring on the pain! hahahaha

urgent message to wedding guests!
