Sewing: Indian dress

Five years ago I designed and made an Indian dress using a white fleece blanket that was on offer in our local supermarket. It was just a fun project but I ended up adding a fringe, beads and the lot, plus some embroidery, and I even lined the entire dress with satin.

When it was finished and I tried it on, it was like being enveloped by a warm white cloud. I loved it and I tend to wear it once a year, when it snows. :)

Wicked sense of humour, I know.

That dress is special to me also because in the month when I worked on it I became pregnant with my now five ear old daughter, Kim.

Making the dress was fun and it costed me only £5,00 for fabric and probably £5,00 for beads. There is so much we can do when we have time, passion and a good idea.

I'm not saying that you should go around dressed like American Indians though!

    That design is very aggressive for me the look of this dress were nice also all Indian bridal sarees and Indian dresses are prefect for wedding. Indian weddings are all about grandeur and splendor involving a number of ceremonies and functions.

How to publish a book with Amazon Create Space

How do you self publish a book? I am asked this question quite often now, soI have decided to put my little experience in writing to help you out. Here is the link you want: https://www.createspace.com/ I worked out lots of information after signing as much of the info only comes out after having a title etc and going through the whole process.
