Hello dear creative friends on hive, wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead. I know not so many people are excited about Monday, and I am one of the few people who do. I mean, why not? Especially when I have a needleworkmonday to look forward to. And today, as expected, I've got a beautiful sewing creation to share with you, an off-the-shoulder dress for a friend for her brother's wedding. WhatsApp Image 2025-09-29 at 14.00.45_2e11e0c8.jpg She reached out to me wanting me to make her a dress with the style inspiration image sent, I know I could recreate it, the problem was the limited time we had, as it was just a few days to the day of the occasion. It was so relieving when I finished a few hours before the wedding, and at first fit, it was perfect, making all the effort put into making this dress worthwhile.
