Swipe to see the process of altering this elegant gown This dress fit the bride beautifully only a few small adjustments were needed. The armholes were too tight and the neck came up too high, both of which made for a constricting and uncomfortable fit. This bride made the tasteful choice of adding a gentle V to the neckline that framed her face and suited the timeless look Now that wedding season is in full swing over here it's got me thinking back to some alterations ...and custom work I did last year! This lovely bride had me create bridesmaids skirts for her girls as well as alter her special dress. Bridesmaids skirts are a great affordable option that can be paired with any top your girls already have in their wardrobe! These skirts came in at only $60 each excluding materials Send me a message if you have any inquiries for your own wedding needs this season!

The story behind Sustainable Scrunchies When I worked at a dress shop doing alterations we would frequently throw fabric cut off the hems of dresses into the garbage. As a fabric junkie and someone who's well aware of the amount of textile waste that goes into landfill every year, I started asking if I could take scraps home instead. I now have a sizeable stash of hem scraps in various fabrics and colours that I'm slowly turning into small batches of scrunchies for yo...u! Turning trash into treasures Every Sustainable Scrunchie is one of a kind unique in width and fullness!

As the year comes to a close I wanted to thank all of you for supporting me on this journey I decided to embark on this year. Only Sunshine Sewing was born out of necessity in a time of need when I had been laid off from my job at the Stratford Festival Theatre due to Covid, and in turn was struggling financially and mentally/emotionally. Staying home was hard and making/mending things was my creative outlet. ... One morning I woke up with the name in my head - Only Sunshine Sewing. I took it as a sign from God to begin, knowing there is never a perfect time for anything. As this year has taught all of us, the only time we are guaranteed is now. I have been overwhelmed by the support I've recieved, first from my family and friends and then from strangers turned new friends thanks to the wonderful community of small businesses here in London, in Ontario and all across Canada. Words can't express how grateful I am to all of you for allowing me to pursue my passion in the midst of an unpredictable time. So here's to a New Year, yes it will be filled with uncertainty but also with new goals, new friends and new memories. I wish you only the best, only sunshine and radiating joy. May God bless you in the year to come.
