I have a great many patterns in my sewing room and found one that I

We are driving up to NC tomorrow to shop for the fabric so I'm doing a
dress fitting on the mock-up tonight. I hope we can find something
that she'll be happy with. Any fabric suggestions are most welcome!!!

oh, and I'm making the wedding cake, too. :-)

Lisa, got room in your life for another sister????

Blush pink is probably easy to find right now, as it's Prom Season at
THWLTH (that would be Jo-Ann's) and elsewhere.

If I were doing a "last wedding" I would look at the "home dec" printed
sheers at the aforementioned. They keep putting out wonderful new rems
at the ones near me (in Michigan). The idea of making your own pale
pink shade by washing with red garments is really a good one (I have
some quickie white drapery panels in blush pink).

You can always throw the pattern number out at us. Or scan part of the
diagrams to share. Like this:
