ASG Embellishment Challenge 2022

Recently I rejoined ASG in Jacksonville after our move up here in 2016. This year for the annual meeting we were given a challenge to create something and embellish it. I had this pattern for a dress designed by Diane Erickson and the linen from years back as well as the strips I had cut for a different project and an idea was born

As well as the little purse made of matching fabric

This dress took me forever to complete as I had multiple problems with it. Most of them stemmed from the neckline and how to stabilize it so it didn't stretch out of shape. I finally came up with the idea to use the fabric strips which I do like. I had already finished off the neckline so I had to take it apart and re do it. Finally I can call it complete and ready to model at the luncheon.
