08 Aug Where am I ? and… a Susan Khalje Giveaway!
Many thanks to all who have contacted me either regarding my whereabouts or who have been in my place…….. I’ve fallen into the wedding vortex and I can’t get out! Friends tried to warn me about how time-consuming wedding planning is. Even though I believed them, I never realized this meant ALL of my time.
Excitement abounds with the August 23 date quickly approaching. One thing I’m excited about is the completion of my Mother of the Bride dress, and I plan to post lots of photos shortly after the wedding.
I must thank Susan Khalje for giving me the confidence to undertake the project. Through her live and virtual classes, I learned how to fit muslins, handle fine fabric and truly transform a pattern into a couture garment. To help celebrate my excitement …….. Susan is giving away her new Cocktail Dress pattern and Video Series Tutorial to one lucky winner!!
from the Susan Khalje website……..
The Cocktail Dress
The Cocktail Dress is a fitted princess sheath, made elegant by the addition of lace at the yoke and in the skirt. It’s constructed from start to finish with a full range of couture techniques: a muslin, underlining, hand stitches, finishing details… and you’ll find it’s a design that easily lends itself to variations; in fact, different bodice and hem treatments are included in the pattern.
You will receive the following:
– Instant Access to Full Length videos for three years.
– Custom pattern designed by Susan Khalje sent right to your doorstep.
– Multi-platform accessibility on i-pads, mobile phones, laptops, etc.
All you need to do to enter your name in the hat is to humor me 😉
For the last two weeks I’ve been sewing night and day on 52 yards of fabric. I bought 3 1/2 yards of 15 fabrics shown below. Twelve are Amy Butler cottons and the other three are similar designs.
Can you guess what I’ve been making?
Everyone who responds with an answer will be entered for the giveaway, but those who guess correctly will be entered twice!
The sewing is wedding related, and the answer along with the winner will be announced between August 24 and August 29th. The deadline for entries is August 21st.
Hopefully I’ll be back before August 23rd, but if not please know I’m spinning from one wedding duty to another. I cannot wait to share the fruits of my labor with you and appreciate you hanging with me during my virtual absence. 🙂
Good luck to all with the giveaway, and many thanks to the wonderful Susan Khalje for her generosity!

Deb Wilkinson
Posted at 23:00h, 08 AugustTablecloths.

Sue Bateman
Posted at 23:58h, 08 AugustI think it’s sarongs or table cloths or wedding guest gifts
Star's Threads
Posted at 23:58h, 08 August52 yards of fabric is a lot for any project, let alone for a wedding project with a specific deadline that can’t be changed. My guess would be something related to the reception. Tablecloths or napkins. Or it could be some sort of favor for the guests maybe?
G
Posted at 00:04h, 09 AugustNapkins is my guess..
Joanne
Posted at 00:07h, 09 AugustPlacemats and napkins! ;
Debbie
Posted at 00:08h, 09 AugustMy guess is that you are making napkins for a tropical themed wedding. 15 tables(15 different fabrics) with seating for 6 guests. 3 and 1/2 yards of fabric would make 6 15 inch lovely napkins. Sounds like fun. Happy sewing!
Stephanie
Posted at 00:09h, 09 AugustI reckon chair covers..?
Margaret
Posted at 00:11h, 09 AugustLike everyone else, I believe it’s tablecloths and maybe napkins for the wedding. A great idea, and afterwards you can recycle some of them into pretty skirts or dresses! I’m really looking forward to seeing photos of your MOB dress, and hopefully, some of the wedding, too. Our family has a wedding on August 15th — will be thinking of you on the 23rd.
Marilyn Meehan
Posted at 00:11h, 09 AugustI’m also thinking very pretty and colourful tablecloths, or possibly even delightfully decorative swags for the front of white tablecloths?
Karen
Posted at 00:12h, 09 AugustI am thinking chair covers…..but could be wrong 🙂
Elizabeth Lewis
Posted at 00:19h, 09 AugustTablecloths for the reception? What a beautiful array of colors!

Posted at 00:22h, 09 AugustI think bunting to hang up and decorate the venue.

Michelle
Posted at 00:59h, 09 AugustCould it be tablecloths?
bikinggrandma
Posted at 01:02h, 09 AugustI’m going to say tablecloths or grift bags for wedding guests. If only allowed one guess…..let’s make it gift bags. Can’t imagine you sewing all night and day for tablecloths! Enjoy the day!
Christy
Posted at 01:13h, 09 AugustLovely! My guess was table toppers, but napkins sound better. My off the wall guess — curtain panels to dress up the lawn tent for the rehearsal dinner.
Mom and I did a wedding ring quilt out of white satin and out of the blue satin we used for Sister’s bridesmaid’s dresses. Regrettably we had enough fabric left over from the dresses and didn’t need to cut up my MoH gown. 😉 We presented it for Sister’s first anniversary.
Carol S
Posted at 01:15h, 09 AugustTablecloths and they are going to be fabulous.
Ana Sullivan
Posted at 01:29h, 09 AugustI went to a wedding that had baskets of flipflops near the dance floor. I’m guessing you are making shoe bags for the ladies shoes.
dottiedoodle
Posted at 01:31h, 09 AugustI think napkins – but whatever it is will look amazing in that fabric!
Kat
Posted at 01:34h, 09 AugustI’m going to guess wedding quilt? All very exciting! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 Best of luck with your MOB dress…looking forward to seeing it 🙂
Dilliander
Posted at 01:39h, 09 AugustAll the very best Sarah, have a wonderful day with lots of happy memories! There are so many possibilities for the fabric, so I’ll guess chair decoration, perhaps a sash or bow, whatever it is will be lovely and can’t wait to see your Mother of the Bride dress either.
Robyn Kirk
Posted at 01:44h, 09 AugustI think you may be making chairback wraps with bows.
Suzie
Posted at 01:44h, 09 AugustI´m guesing a wedding quilt, too 🙂 The chosen fabrics look lovely!
Vanessa
Posted at 01:50h, 09 AugustTable linens! Table cloths, napkins, runner, etc 🙂 Whatever it will be, good luck with it!

Carol
Posted at 01:54h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table runners and napkins or wedding favors for the bridesmaids. I can’t wait to see your dress. How exciting and tiring at the same time! Good Luck to you and get some rest!
Anni
Posted at 01:55h, 09 AugustKimonos for the wedding party.
Cathy
Posted at 01:56h, 09 AugustI’m a quilter and those fabrics look perfect for a wedding quilt for the bride and groom.
Amanda
Posted at 02:01h, 09 AugustI think you are going to make yards and yards and yards and yards of bunting for the garden! I can’t wait to see your dress ! Are you pleased with it???
mlweaving
Posted at 02:02h, 09 AugustCongratulations! Several years ago (10?), Susan transformed my attitude towards my sewing by simply validating my preference for “slow sewing”. I also learned much from her especially in terms of fitting. What a great give- away.
As far as the Amy Butler and other cottons, I would guess that you’re making a quilt, and if I had to guess I’d hazard a guess that it’s a double wedding ring quilt. Can’t wait to see whatever it is.
Enjoy the wedding.
Marji
Jodie Venz
Posted at 02:15h, 09 AugustI think napkins and/or gift bags for guest. Have been waiting a long time to see your dress!!
Jodie
Wendy
Posted at 02:17h, 09 AugustHmm, 52 yards, too much for a quilt I think. I’m going with table/ chair covers but now that Amanda has mentioned bunting I think it could be that too 🙂
Monique
Posted at 02:18h, 09 AugustIt can’t be all that complicated if there’s 52 yards and such a short time before the event. And I would go crazy if it were any more difficult than furnishings and trimmings, so my bet also is on tablecloths, napkins, cushion/chair covers. Although it would certainly make for a very colourful collection of dresses and shirts for all the children in the party. Whatever you are making, I wish you all success and a great wedding day.
With many thanks to Susan Khalje too, for providing the great giveaway!
mary
Posted at 02:20h, 09 AugustMy guess is aprons for gifts. Something simple but stunning I am sure. Having made over 100 embroidered napkin rings and the table centres for my daughter-in -law and sons wedding which took me over 5 months to make I wish you luck. She was so exited she had found the exact colour fabric she wanted and presented it to me to make everything. I did not have the heart to tell her it was very thin lining fabric and was a nightmare to embroider. At least each guest had a nice memento to take home!
Jane
Posted at 02:36h, 09 AugustChair covers, napkins and bunting – how pretty! Health and happiness to you all.
AnnW
Posted at 02:51h, 09 AugustTablecloths or napkins for the wedding.

Nikie
Posted at 03:08h, 09 AugustUmmm i think bunting, my daughter helped her best friend with this task and it took loads and loads of fabric! Cant wait to see you dress, i am sure it will be divine! Xx
Christine Hoare
Posted at 03:08h, 09 AugustI think you may be sewing goody bags for your guests. Good luck with all your preparations
Chris
Victoria Mathews
Posted at 03:08h, 09 AugustI’m guessing robes for the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom to wear while having hair and make up done on the wedding day. I made some for my daughter’s wedding last November. Best wishes from Melbourne Australia for a lovely wedding.
Sabrina
Posted at 03:09h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table napkins too!
Jude
Posted at 03:19h, 09 AugustMaybe making heart shaped quilted placemats in various modern fabrics and colours for the tables that guests can keep as a memento of the day.
reneesews
Posted at 03:21h, 09 AugustGorgeous napkins.
Christianne McCall
Posted at 03:25h, 09 AugustMy guess is vests/ties for the groomsmen and dresses or scarves for the bridesmaids… I cannot wait to see! Enjoy. Blessings on your family!
Marysia Paling
Posted at 03:33h, 09 AugustHi there Sarah,
What an exciting but exhausting time for you; but we all know you will pull it off with your usual panache and style.
As I am from the UK and bunting is used a lot for outdoor celebrations, street parties etc my guess was that you are having an outdoor themed reception……………….or, are you all jetting away for the wedding. Either way, I think that the fabric could be for table cloths or runners; seat covers or napkins and bunting to deck the greenery that may surround you. I did also think that maybe, its not for that, but you have a theme and you are making items of clothing for the catering staff to wear – so maybe sarongs, skirts or aprons for the female waiting staff and waistcoats and bowties for the guys??
I wondered about the bridesmaids and their male partners, but I don’t think you would go for them in different fabrics, bearing in mind the sophisticated MOB outfit……………
Gosh, it will keep us all guessing until the pictures are posted.
Are you going to be dressing up for a fantastic group dance, I have seen quite a few u tube videos lately of Mothers of The Bride or Groom. Perhaps you are putting on a spectacular fun dance routine to get everyone in the party mood after the formal part is over and the party kicks off ??
sewruth
Posted at 03:33h, 09 AugustWith 52 yards of fabric, I think you’re making a tent! Have a great day.
Gail Delashaw
Posted at 03:40h, 09 AugustQuilt blocks for all the guests to sign at the wedding and can then be made into a special quilt for the bride and groom.
Rebecca Y
Posted at 03:42h, 09 AugustI’m guessing napkins. Thanks for the chance and enjoy every moment leading up to the wedding it will be worth it.
Anne in Melbourne
Posted at 03:42h, 09 AugustHi Sarah Thanks for blogging through this busy time. I think you are making shoe bags for the guests. I look forward to the pictures and wish everyone involved great happiness.
Catherine
Posted at 03:43h, 09 AugustI think you’re making a ridiculous amount of bunting
Heather Rose-Chase
Posted at 03:45h, 09 AugustI think you are sewing bunting for the wedding reception decoration. I would have said a quilt, but 52 yards of fabric? That would be a quilt to cover everyone at the wedding!
Janene
Posted at 03:49h, 09 AugustMy first thought was a quilt but wedding favors came to mind too.
Rachel
Posted at 03:53h, 09 AugustBunting? Wedding planning does take over one’s life but so worth it in the end. I hope you all have a fantastic day! Rachel ☺
Marie
Posted at 03:57h, 09 AugustI think you’re making pyjamas for the wedding party!
Tammy McKinley
Posted at 04:08h, 09 AugustWedding favors for guests. Pillow/seatcushion to use at the wedding and then take home. I hope you and yours have a great day.
opalspeacock
Posted at 04:13h, 09 AugustWedding favors for guests. Pillows/cushion for guests to use at the wedding and take home as a memento. Hope you and yours have a great day.
Julie Glover
Posted at 04:26h, 09 AugustPretty bunting to decorate the wedding venue
Christine
Posted at 04:27h, 09 AugustI think it will be aprons??
J
Posted at 04:36h, 09 AugustSo much fabric ! My first thought was table cloths and chair cushions, but then I thought perhaps a canopy and cushions, or drapes for a photo backdrop ? Party favours and gifts sound great, but that’s a lot of sewing !! Hope you have a lovely Big Day with memories to cherish forever. I know the Heavens will smile on you all !
Shiloh Greenwood
Posted at 04:40h, 09 AugustBridesmaids dresses and matching vests for the groomsmen! Can’t wait to see the MOB dress!
Sondra
Posted at 04:47h, 09 AugustI think you are making napkins and they will be a beautiful addition to the wedding. You are a sweet MOB.
ELIZABETH BRADSHAW
Posted at 04:54h, 09 AugustCurtains? Chair covers? Bunting? Tablecloths? The work we girls do for our daughters’ and nieces’ weddings!
redambition
Posted at 05:02h, 09 AugustI’m guessing napkins for the wedding tables!
I hope all goes well on the big day – I am sure it’s going to be fabulous!
jillybe
Posted at 05:09h, 09 AugustWhat a great giveaway, and I look forward to seeing the MOB dress! My guess is table dressings for a very colorful wedding!
accordion3
Posted at 05:17h, 09 AugustServiettes? Cake slice holders? Bags to hold each guests’ bonboniere?
Wishing you well for the wedding.
diane wittik
Posted at 05:51h, 09 AugustI think you are making a wedding ring quilt.
Ladan
Posted at 05:54h, 09 Augustcant wait to see your outfit. Table runners, napkins and BUNTING I would hope!
AudryBorgelt
Posted at 05:55h, 09 AugustThe first thing that popped into my mind, was…a quilt. Are you making a quilt?
Lyndle
Posted at 05:59h, 09 August52 yards.. That’s a lot! These *would* make great table runners, but I’m going to go for chair covers. Two weeks worth is a lot of sewing! Would 1.75 yards be enough for a chair cover? It’s either that or wedding favour bags for sugared almonds, but unless you’re having 600 guests, i don’t think that would take that much fabric. Good luck! And can’t wait to see the dress!
Lyndle
Posted at 06:01h, 09 AugustOh my goodness, i see someone mentioned bunting. Please tell me you’re not sewing 900 triangles!!
Lyndle
Posted at 06:06h, 09 AugustJust did some proper math and it would make more like 3000 – that would explain the day and night, (and no doubt be adorable) but is seriously pushing the limits of motherly dedication. As if giving birth, cleaning up vomit and going to parent teacher interviews isn’t enough!
Beth
Posted at 06:03h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table clothes for the reception. I did it for my daughters but they were boring white.
Canal Couture
Posted at 06:10h, 09 AugustMy first thought was bunting, but somehow the orange fabric screams kaftan. So I’m going with Kaftans for the bridesmaids. Whatever it is, keep calm and sew on!
I wish you a wonderful wedding! Can’t wait for pictures of your dress (and THE dress)
kathydykstra
Posted at 06:10h, 09 AugustI’ve been mother of the bride twice now and cannot imagine sewing 52 yards of anything while doing everything else!!! I’m guessing it is tablecloths and chair covers. I hope that the wedding goes smoothly and is a beautiful day for everyone!
boutis
Posted at 06:15h, 09 AugustUsually with that yardage I would say drapery but not for a wedding. I would guess chair and table decorations for the reception. I hope you all have a fantastic wedding and celebration and get to take a rest after. Can’t wait to see your beautiful dress.
Pat
Posted at 06:20h, 09 AugustDressing gowns for the bridal party? Whatever it is, it will be so lovely! Have a beautiful day.

Or swag bags?
KarinM.
Posted at 06:35h, 09 AugustI am sure it will be a wonderful wedding with tableclothes and napkins made by you……I will be mother of the groom next year and I am anxious to see your dress!!
Karin
Patti Best
Posted at 06:36h, 09 AugustWow, this is so intriguing. I would be inclined to think that it will be some sort of wedding favour for the guests, judging by the variety of fabrics. Have a wonderful time on the big day!
Anne Szabo
Posted at 06:46h, 09 AugustTable toppers. Have FUN with all of the wedding plans.
Janice McCombs

Michelle

lisainaz
Posted at 07:08h, 09 AugustGood luck with all the final wedding preparations. Very excited to see your MOB dress! I think you are making some one-of-a-kind bags/totes filled with goodies for your out of town guests. That’s what I’d do with that fabric…!!!
Laura
Posted at 07:11h, 09 AugustQuilt for your daughter’s wedding. ….and yes put my name in the hat for S. Kahilse class. Thank you, and don’t forget to breathe.
Laura
macinic
Posted at 07:12h, 09 AugustBunting! (yes, so gift bags or table decorations is more likely, but… 😉 )
Sarah H
Posted at 07:20h, 09 AugustIt would have to be table decorations
daisydonut
Posted at 07:20h, 09 AugustWedding bunting. Please put my name in the hat for the Cocktail dress class. Thank you and have a wonderful and enjoyable wedding. Can’t wait to see the outfit pictures, I’m sure you will look beautiful as always.
Sarah. Jo
Posted at 07:22h, 09 AugustMy first thought was a quilt, but that would be one large quilt! Dressing robes for the bridal party? It would make for pretty pictures as everyone is getting dressed, although I’m not sure quilting cotton would make the most comfortable dressing robes!
Kerry
Posted at 07:23h, 09 AugustBridesmaid gift – some type of bag
auntychacha
Posted at 07:24h, 09 AugustI’m thinking chair covers. Can’t wait to see!
Mimi Newman
Posted at 07:26h, 09 AugustHmmmm. I’m thinking short kimonos for the bridesmaids. You know, to wear when they get their makeup applied and their hair styled right before the wedding. And they get to keep them as a gift after the wedding!
Anna
Posted at 07:27h, 09 AugustSome sort of wedding favors or table cloths. Either way it will be beautiful!
Ana S.
Posted at 07:29h, 09 AugustIt looks like great colors for some summer sheath dresses!
Gillian Cullin
Posted at 07:30h, 09 AugustLooks like tablecloth toppers to me. Very colorful! Love it!
Susie
Posted at 07:32h, 09 AugustTable cloths and napkins! Have fun, our daughters wedding was the MOST fun! Can’t wait to see your dress, are you also making a rehearsal outfit?
Vernelle
Posted at 07:34h, 09 AugustWith so many options and so much fabric, I’m guessing someone as creative as you would be doing lots of different things. I can see flowing skirts, cool tops, funky shorts and slacks, breezy summery dresses, scarves, shoulder wraps, and home dec accents as well… whimsical pillow covers; eye catching window dressings; maybe even a lampshade or two; and of course table decor – runners, napkins and placemats. Add some quit batting and you can even make some potholders, oven mitts and washable trivets to sit under those hot serving dishes, protecting your dining room table while your family and friends enjoy your latest culinary offering.
ReneeAnn
Posted at 07:36h, 09 AugustThat’s a lot of fabric so I’d have to guess either tablecloths or swagging. Either way I hope you get to enjoy the day instead of be part of the frenzy. Best wishes!
sewingishappiness
Posted at 07:38h, 09 AugustBest wishes on your daughter’s special day! My guess is decor for the tables at the wedding. Sueann301@yahoo.com
Juanita
Posted at 07:42h, 09 AugustLittle gift bags to hold the wedding favors for the guests? Cant wait to see your dress inspired by Ms. Khalje’s class!
Peggy
Posted at 07:45h, 09 AugustMy guess is a duvet cover, pillows, dust duffel and fabric walls!
Deborah Findlay
Posted at 07:50h, 09 AugustBest wishes on the wedding day! Blessings for a perfect day…you are insane to be tackling all that fabric but I am sure it is fun. My guess is on the same lines of table décor..tablecloths, napkins etc. Will wait to see the stunning result.
Elaine
Posted at 07:50h, 09 AugustYou are of course, making a quilt for your DD and soon-to-be son-in-law! I will look forward to pictures of the finished article (whatever it is!) and can’t wait to see your Mother of the Bride ensemble. Best wishes – stay sane.
Fifty Dresses
Posted at 07:51h, 09 AugustH-m-m-m, I think it might be bathrobes for members of the wedding party and special guests and friends. Whatever you may be concocting, that is a lot of sewing! There is nothing quite like one’s daughter’s wedding. Enjoy and savor this special time. (I already have the SK course, so give my entry to someone else!)
Michelle Moseley
Posted at 07:57h, 09 AugustCongratulations on your daughter’s upcoming wedding! It must be tablecloths that you are making.
Rachel
Posted at 07:59h, 09 AugustYou are making a memory quilt.
Elise Williams
Posted at 07:59h, 09 AugustTablecloths. That was the first thing that came to my mind. I also think it could be chair back covers.
Anne Kendall
Posted at 08:07h, 09 AugustNapkins…
Cynthia
Posted at 08:08h, 09 AugustI initially thought you were sewing a quilt for the bride and groom, but now feel it would be coordinated outfits (shirts/blouses/dresses) for the wedding party to wear at the rehearsal dinner. Whatever it turns out to be, I know it will be superb and you will have a wonderful day!
poppykettle
Posted at 08:10h, 09 AugustOoh! I certainly can’t wait to see your MOB dress 🙂 My guess would be bunting, and lots of it! 🙂
Florencia
Posted at 08:14h, 09 AugustHmmmm… table runners or chair covers.
Karen Mulkey
Posted at 08:15h, 09 AugustMy guess is tablecloths. I well remember the mad dash sewing before my daughter’s wedding. I made her dress, mine, the bridesmaids as well as table runners. It was wild but such fun!
Karen
Posted at 08:15h, 09 AugustI will guess table runners and napkins. Can’t wait to see pictures of your MOB dress and hoping for some of what you make with all that lovely fabric.
Carolyn Orth
Posted at 08:15h, 09 AugustI think tablecloths or table runner and napkins.
Becky Bagwell
Posted at 08:17h, 09 AugustBridesmaid gifts…raincoats???
Liz
Posted at 08:17h, 09 AugustI’ll go with my first guess… chair covers! Whatever you’re making, all those fabrics will look so pretty together. Good luck.

maryfunt
Posted at 08:24h, 09 AugustI figured you were in full blown sewing/ wedding mode. Having made both daughter-in-laws gowns I know how frantic it gets. I’m guessing tablecloths. You are brave taking on additional sewing duties but I’m sure the result will be spectacular. We are all waiting to see photos of your dress plus the wedding. Congratulations to you and your family and enjoy the day.
Mary Frances Giattina
Posted at 08:28h, 09 AugustMy first guess is table toppers for 15 tables. For 60-inch tables, you would need more yardage if you were going to make full length tablecloths, but toppers over a sheer would be perfect for a summer coastal wedding. I’m sure you don’t have much time to do anything more :). Have fun! Can’t wait to see the pics!
Monica Cook
Posted at 08:31h, 09 AugustBeautiful table runners and chair covers or bows. Cannot wait to see the photos!
Carole
Posted at 08:32h, 09 AugustTablecloths and napkins?
Sally
Posted at 08:34h, 09 AugustFun contest! Wedding related? I’m stumped!!
Seleste
Posted at 08:34h, 09 AugustNot sure if this is the place to respond to the giveaway question but I think the answer is…. you are making bridesmaid dressing gowns for wedding. Maybe kimono style or just short robes. The fabric would be cute for that regardless. Thanks so much. I really enjoy your blog. Seleste Skinner, San Antonio, TX
Diane
Posted at 08:37h, 09 AugustI’m guessing napkins/table scape runners… Beautiful fabric BTW! You should have a scrap bag giveaway (if there are any scraps)!! ☺️ Happy sewing.
Andrea Green
Posted at 08:37h, 09 AugustMy guess based on the gorgeous fabrics is fun, ruffled aprons either for the bridesmaids or for prizes for cooking themed games at the wedding shower. Can’t wait to see your MOB dress! 🙂
Margaret Cole
Posted at 08:39h, 09 AugustSome kind of bag for bridesmaids?
Adecia
Posted at 08:47h, 09 AugustI think table linens, runners or table cloths
Tina Spear
Posted at 08:49h, 09 AugustThere sure are a lot of ladies who think you are making table cloths or napkins for the reception and I agree that would be a strong possibility given the 15 different fabrics for possibly 15 different tables. But I’m not sure that is the look you/your daughter would have at a wedding. But I honestly don’t know what it could be. My best guess is either table cloths, like everyone else, or some kind of gifts for the brides maids and Grandmothers. Anyway I would love to win a class from Susan! My budget won’t ever allow for me taking one from her in person. Can’t wait to see your MOB dress!!!!
Martha Hughes
Posted at 08:49h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table runners for the reception.
themateriallady
Posted at 08:51h, 09 AugustMy first thought was bunting – and looking down the replies it isn’t an original idea! However, that would make LOTS of bunting!
Whatever you are making will be fabulous. Remember to make time to enjoy the wedding 🙂
Jackie Williams

Almeda
Posted at 08:52h, 09 AugustOh my Heavens! You are full of surprises and ENERGY! What fun and excitement! I predict that beautiful material will be made into napkins or table runners. Can’t wait to see all the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to keep all your followers in the loop. ENJOY and TREASURE the next few weeks. 🙂
patsdesign
Posted at 08:57h, 09 AugustI love following your site. I wondered you went off to. I think you are making shell tops to be worn by wedding party & some guest so they can make photos cohesive. Just my wondering brain trying to be different than what’s already been guessed. I love Susan Khalje & would love to win her cocktail dress video… Have a great time at the wedding!
Trudy Anderson

cheri schwartz
Posted at 09:04h, 09 Augustat first I thought little tote bags for the wedding favors but chair back covers might be the correct answer, have a wonderful day. it will be over in a flash.
Laura Arriola
Posted at 09:06h, 09 AugustBridesmaids gifts……I’m guessing something beach related for the prewedding festivities. Tunic tops…..pareos…….robes with their own bag…..
petitepotager
Posted at 09:06h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table runners or table cloths. Looking forward to seeing the wedding pictures and I hope that you get a chance to rest before the wedding!
Carolyn H
Posted at 09:09h, 09 AugustI’m guessing table toppers and maybe napkins.
Your Friendly Home Economist
Posted at 09:09h, 09 AugustI am guessing that you are making table toppers and/or napkins for the wedding. I hope you save them and do something with the fabrics after – like the quilt idea. Cannot imagine trying to do all this before the big day!! Hang in there and enjoy every minute!
Sherri Egan
Posted at 09:14h, 09 AugustSome kind of bag as gifts for the wedding party.
Jackie
Posted at 09:15h, 09 AugustYou must have an unlimited supply of energy! Could you be making wrap robes for all the girls in the wedding party? I am looking forward to seeing pictures of your MOB dress and I hope you include pictures from the other wedding festivities as well. Wishing you the best.
Louisa Coburn
Posted at 09:18h, 09 AugustIt has to be a wedding ring quilt!
Diana Deap
Posted at 09:18h, 09 AugustOh what a great prize! I think you must be making chair covers. My sister did that for her daughter’s wedding.
jlundy6116
Posted at 09:20h, 09 AugustHoo boy! I can NOT wait to see your finished dress! I know it will be gorgeous! 3 yard cuts of beautiful AB fabrics? Wedding favors of some sort, I’m guessing. Gift bags, most likely.
Merry Ronan
Posted at 09:21h, 09 AugustI think you are making a quilt. … whatever it is it will be beautiful!
susan snow
Posted at 09:23h, 09 AugustI think that you are making chair covers with bows on the back. Would be very pretty.
Keys Maddox
Posted at 09:30h, 09 AugustDo you need a two hour recue? It will include wine!! I have been thinking about you and wondered if you needed a break but figured you were in hyper-focus mode. Since I already know the answer to the contest question, I will abstain. ( robes for bridesmaids….). Keysie

Out of the box: Knotted ropes for a wedding tug-o-war.
Jane M
Posted at 09:34h, 09 AugustI too am thinking chair sashes , napkins and table runners. Hope you haven’t been too busy to enjoy all the wonderful moments before the newlyweds start their new life together. Cheers!
Jamie B
Posted at 09:42h, 09 AugustI would squill with delight at 52 yards of fabric. AND Amy But,er?! Love her.
I would say some sort of canopy or chair cover/decorations. Can’t wait to see pics.
Thanks, and wish the happy couple lots of love and happiness!
Marlene
Posted at 09:46h, 09 AugustGifts for the wedding party, like robes and matching tote bags?

Yvonne Mullins
Posted at 09:56h, 09 AugustI’m going to guess aprons. You used to sew aprons, right?
Marilyn
Posted at 09:56h, 09 AugustI am thinking festive tablecloths for round tables for a lovely outdoor wedding.
Jan
Posted at 09:56h, 09 AugustI think you are making two square table toppers from each 3 1/2 yard piece of fabric. I hope you are having lots of fun with your wedding preparations!
916susanc
Posted at 10:01h, 09 AugustI think you’re making bags, perhaps to put gifts in for bridesmaids or shoes? In any event, I think you’re a crazy woman to be sewing your dress and whatever it is this close to the wedding :). This from the woman who had to go RTW for her daughter’s wedding last year and had no less than 5 dresses 2 days before the wedding. Don’t worry, I picked the right one and it was fabulous! Have a wonderful time at the wedding.
Maggie
Posted at 10:02h, 09 AugustI think you are making very colourful table cloths and napkins, they will look stunning.
Nancy hoffman
Posted at 10:05h, 09 AugustMy daughter is marrying in November and I know ALL about the wedding vortex! You are making robes for the bridesmaids and possibly, flower girls….am I right?
anniehanks
Posted at 10:09h, 09 AugustSeat covers …this one is difficult! Good luck with 52 yards of fabric!!
Janice
Posted at 10:10h, 09 AugustA wedding ring quilt.
Jan
Posted at 10:12h, 09 AugustI think you are making bridal decorations of some sort, like huge tropical flowers, but not tablecloths, as that would be too patchwork looking. Might even be enough for some Caribbean flair attire for the honeymooners!
Denise T.
Posted at 10:14h, 09 AugustMy guess is some kind of gift bags for the bridesmaids/groomsmen.
Mem
Posted at 10:15h, 09 AugustA lot of bunting with chair bows to match
Diane A
Posted at 10:17h, 09 AugustI would guess you are making wedding favors. Perhaps small pouches to hold something for each guest.
Karen
Posted at 10:23h, 09 AugustI think you are making gift bags for the wedding party.
Marysia Paling
Posted at 10:27h, 09 AugustCame back to say how wonderful that Susan Khalje has offered her class for a lucky winner. Those of us that follow you and her, know the couture dress course well. I enjoyed every minute of it and have learned so much. Whoever wins the prize will have a great opportunity to work on a stunning outfit, for a Wedding, Graduation ceremony, Anniversary, Engagement………….oh, the possibilities,.as tantalizing as us all trying to guess what you are making with the fabrics
Do remember to be kind to yourself and have a truly wonderful day.
Susan
Posted at 10:39h, 09 AugustI’m thinking your making kimonos for bride and her bridesmaids to wear as their getting dressed for wedding! Can’t wait to see your dress!
Vivian Katz
Posted at 10:46h, 09 AugustI was torn between 2 ideas of what you were using this fabric for, table toppers for the reception or circle skirts for all of the bridal party. I think I well go with table toppers for the reception. Over 50 yards is a lot of fabric!
Angela
Posted at 10:46h, 09 AugustOh my, I’ve had my eye on that course for since it was announced. As far as what you are making… that is tricky! But I think they are gifts for the wedding party – beach totes with matching small bags, that kind of thing.
Shelby
Posted at 10:50h, 09 AugustThe fabrics are so lively and summery. I would think tablecloths and napkins, as well. Can’t wait to hear the details and photos!
SunGold
Posted at 10:55h, 09 August3.5 yards of 15 fabrics can only be … not tablecloths (there will be more than 15 tables); not gift bags; not pillowcases (who would get those, anyway?); not seat cushion covers (simple work that’s not really in your wheelhouse – in a good way) … shirts for the groomsmen and matching dresses for the bridesmaids. Unless it’s ribbon skirts for the bridesmaids. I give up – but I’d still love to win the Susan Khalje prize!
carolsloan
Posted at 10:59h, 09 AugustI bet you’re making a quilt. Maybe a wedding ring quilt? Can’t wait to see your dress!
Paula
Posted at 11:03h, 09 AugustTotes for the bridesmaids.
Mary
Posted at 11:05h, 09 AugustQuilts! Or tablecloths and napkins…I’m guessing quilts though!
BeccaA
Posted at 11:07h, 09 AugustCongratulations on your daughter’s wedding. Are you making table cloths? That was my first thought. In any case I can’t wait to see live action pictures of your dress and whatever it is you’re making. Have a wonderful time at the wedding.
EarlynR
Posted at 11:07h, 09 AugustLovely table runners and placemats!
sewdooley
Posted at 11:07h, 09 AugustWhat wonderful memories you are creating. I look forward to your pictures. Could you be making totes to fill with welcome gifts for the guests?
Ellen Swenson

Ellen Swenson
Posted at 11:18h, 09 AugustNapkins for the wedding dinner. Good luck.
Beth Sartori
Posted at 11:24h, 09 AugustI’m sure it will be something beautiful. Probably a gift for the bridesmaids- something gorgeous and classy- but not a quilt. Susan’s class sounds awesome! What a learning experience!
Annemarie
Posted at 11:27h, 09 AugustNapkins could be one option, but I think Pyjamas would be a lovely option too!
Veronica
Posted at 11:28h, 09 AugustBags for the wedding party.

Posted at 11:32h, 09 AugustYou are making beautiful aprons as thank you gifts for attendants and/or special wedding helpers! (What I did and loved the reaction!) hope these happy days are more filled with joy then stress!❤
Kathy
Posted at 11:33h, 09 AugustI would be one very happy camper to be able to have access to Susan’s class!! And I am sure you are making a wedding quilt for the lovely couple 🙂

Posted at 12:04h, 09 AugustYou are so creative that the fabric could be for many, many different I items that come to mind but……..I think it for napkins and chair bows. Enjoy the day.
Gail Ann Thompson
Posted at 12:07h, 09 AugustLike the others, I too, am thinking tablecloths and napkins. I will take it one step further to say, a wedding quilt from the same fabrics is also in the works.
Sandra
Posted at 12:12h, 09 AugustI am thinking chair covers for an outdoor dinner party. Thank you for the giveaway
Suzanne
Posted at 12:16h, 09 AugustI thought tablecloths, but most weddings are going to have coordinated colors and there are so many here, I think not. I think a quilt for the wedding couple.
Stephanie Cauley

jaynims@frontier.com

Megan D
Posted at 12:40h, 09 AugustI’m pretty sure you are making 200 ipod cases. Who wouldn’t want to do something like that? Maybe 100 dog bandanas?
Jennie
Posted at 12:46h, 09 AugustI’m going to guess that you’re sewing table linens for the reception. (Long time lurker, first time poster. You had me at “Susan Khalje giveaway”).
Arlette
Posted at 12:47h, 09 AugustMy guess is something special for the wedding party. I was thinking the same about the table runners and out-of-town guest goodie gifts, but…I’m also going with my first guess! Having been there, done that, I really hope that you take a deep breath and enjoy every minute – from the prep to the after-wedding reminiscing. It goes by so fast – Have a beautiful day!
Daisy
Posted at 12:54h, 09 AugustOh, what a lovely giveaway! My guess for the many yards of fabric is that you’ve made aprons.
Deborah Pugliese
Posted at 13:03h, 09 AugustCongratulations and best wishes to the bride and groom. Amy Butler has beautiful patterns for travel bags so I will guess travel bags for the bridal party. Can’t wait to see your dress.
Katie
Posted at 13:06h, 09 AugustI’m thinking you’re making little bags to hold favors for the guests?
Emmie
Posted at 13:09h, 09 AugustA quilt for the wedding couple!
Leslie
Posted at 13:13h, 09 AugustMy guess is bows and chair covers. I would love to win the Susan Khalje giveaway
michirusuz
Posted at 13:39h, 09 AugustNapkins for the wedding guests to use and take home as gifts…….. If I’m allowed a second guess, aprons for wedding party or reception servers. Can’t wait to find out what you are making.
Gwen gyldenege
Posted at 13:39h, 09 AugustOoo this must be a wedding ring quilt … Or bridesmaid dresses
Or… Pillows for each guest to sit upon and take home as their “party gift”.
Lisa Eldridge
Posted at 13:42h, 09 AugustTable cloths and napkins for the reception.
Holly Clifford
Posted at 13:49h, 09 AugustI am going to guess table linens . . . either runners and placemats and napkins (which guests can take home as favours) or tablecloths and napkins. The shades are lovely, and will contrast and coordinate beautifully! And what a lovely gift.
Yoshie Wong
Posted at 14:05h, 09 AugustYou are making leisure wear for the wedding party for pre or post events, like picnics or BBQ
CBB
Posted at 14:16h, 09 AugustTable linens. Oh boy, do I love the fabrics! I would love to put my hands on them after the wedding. A lovely quilt would be made. Thanks
Natalie Tangen

Carly
Posted at 14:29h, 09 AugustI’m guessing chair covers for the wedding.
Marta
Posted at 14:32h, 09 AugustIf you have 15 different fabrics at 3yds each I will guess table covers or seat covers/sashes. The fabrics are beautiful! Whatever you make will look wonderful. Happy wedding!
Cheryl Scott
Posted at 14:33h, 09 AugustWelcome back! Can’t wait to see wedding photos. I’m also guessing gift sets for the bridesmaids? Maybe travel sets with eye masks and lingerie bags? No, wait. Then, you’d just buy 1 1/2 yards of each, if that’s what you needed. You’re not having 52 bridesmaids, are you? I guess I have to go with table decor, too! I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks!
Renee G
Posted at 14:37h, 09 AugustI would guess a wedding ring quilt for the bride and groom.
Jean O'Reilly

Posted at 14:51h, 09 AugustI would agree with others. Aprons! With your past business, you can sew them up quickly. “Sew” happy for you and your family. Most importantly, enjoy this special time.

Ruby Bugarin

Barbara Keero
Posted at 15:49h, 09 AugustThought perhaps canopy or backdrop for pictures, but have to go with chair covers for the wedding party.
Donna Emberson
Posted at 15:53h, 09 AugustIt looks like you’re making a quilt for your daughter and (very soon to be) SIL. Or, you might be making bags for the guests? Either way, I wish your family a blessed and happy wedding month!
susanne reynolds
Posted at 16:08h, 09 AugustI would guess table clothes also. May it all good well for you and the couple.

Melissa Brown

Joy
Posted at 16:41h, 09 AugustTable cloths and matching napkins? Purses?
Helle
Posted at 16:44h, 09 AugustWow. Love the contest and the replies. I’m going for The Von Trapp Family meets Amy Butler: dresses for the bridesmaids and shirts and vests for the groomsmen. I do like the ideas of pajamas and tug of war ropes, though, and suspect you are really
making someting for the tables. Easier to fit tables than people!
CindyByrne
Posted at 16:53h, 09 AugustA Wedding Ring quilt!
Barbara mullen
Posted at 16:55h, 09 AugustTable cloths.

cheryl
Posted at 17:39h, 09 August52 YARDS!!!- would have to be table decor-table cloths and/or chair covers – your ambition is to be admired! I finished my daughter’s wedding dress the day before and mine the day of (technically speaking – I was finishing the night before, but past midnight) Just remember to enjoy the day, and especially those things that ‘go wrong’, as that is what you will laugh about later!
pdxknitter
Posted at 17:59h, 09 AugustBest wishes for a fun wedding. Congrats to the bride and groom. I think that you’re making tablecloths, napkins and bunting for the reception.
Sheree
Posted at 18:25h, 09 AugustI think it is bunting. I know I don’t get a second choice, but if I did, I would say aprons, having read about your previous business. Look forward to seeing the photos.
Vicki
Posted at 18:28h, 09 AugustHmm, table runners?
Cindy
Posted at 18:42h, 09 AugustMy guess is tablecloths for the wedding reception—and maybe napkins too!
Ruth Lutz
Posted at 18:46h, 09 AugustI love following your blog and am looking forward to seeing wedding photos! My first thought was sundresses for the women in the bridal party, with coordinating bow ties for the men, but I think it makes more sense that you would be making bright colorful cloth napkins for the tables, or some sort of favors. I would absolutely LOVE to win this pattern and training from Susan Khalje – she is incredibly talented. I hope it goes smoothly.. don’t forget to ENJOY yourself and memories of this momentous day!
Warm regards,
Ruth Lutz
Marguerite

Best Wishes
Theola
Sian
Posted at 19:58h, 09 AugustI’m guessing Lily Pulitzer inspired chair wraps or napkins for the reception or the recovery brunch the next day. It will be beautiful, whatever it is because it is made with love. Enjoy the big day as it will fly by.
Debbie
Posted at 19:58h, 09 Augustdefinitely a quilt
Judy

hollylewis
Posted at 21:31h, 09 AugustI’m guessing it’s either a quilt for the bride and groom, or favors for the wedding party. Enjoy!
bobbye
Posted at 21:54h, 09 AugustWow, so many ideas being guessed from everyone. I liked the apron idea but it was not my own therefore I can not claim it.
My guess: I was thinking chair sashes and table scarves/runners.
Cindy
Posted at 22:01h, 09 AugustI’m guessing napkins/placemat settings for the reception

AZ barbara

Jennifer Brennan Thao
Posted at 01:43h, 10 August52 yards wow. I am thinking you might be making one of kind dresses for the bridesmaids.
Terry kretzmer
Posted at 01:43h, 10 AugustTote bags for guests
Sharon Coulombe
Posted at 01:49h, 10 August52 yards of fabric!! A wedding tent?? Sounds like a lot of hard work! Was wondering what had happened to u over the summer?? Remember to live in the moment the day of the wedding and soak in every detail!
Janet
Posted at 01:57h, 10 AugustI think you have been making Bunting. Best wishes for a very enjoyable day
Nicola
Posted at 01:59h, 10 AugustHi Sarah. My guess would be either dressing gowns ( I think you call them robes in the US) for the bridesmaids to wear prior to putting on their actual bridesmaids dresses or bags for your guests to collect mementoes of the day. I hope the day turns out to be all you wished for. Kind regards Nicola.
Jacqueline
Posted at 03:13h, 10 AugustA wedding quilt??? Though THAT is a lot of fabric. I fear I’m wrong! Picnic rugs/quilt for a cute picnic reception? I don’t know, but hat off to you, and I hope I win the Susan Khjale treat — she’s amazing!
Natalie
Posted at 03:27h, 10 AugustWow, 52 yards of fabric! My mind boggles at the amount,
I think it’s favours for the guests, in any case, happy sewing! And all the best for the wedding!
LESLIE WYNICK
Posted at 03:39h, 10 AugustLove your blog!
My guess for the mystery project is a wedding ring quilt!
I hope I’m right!

Judie
Posted at 03:40h, 10 AugustTablecloths or table runners! I’d love to win the prize, but, more importantly, I’d love to see pictures of the wedding when it’s over.
Lynn
Posted at 03:47h, 10 AugustMy guess is some kind of tote or bag as wedding favors.
Tina J
Posted at 03:49h, 10 AugustGreat giveaway! I’m going to guess fabric gift bags for the guests?
Patricia Moore
Posted at 04:27h, 10 AugustMy guess would be mumus for the bridesmaids. Enjoy this wonderful experience!
Karen Knighton
Posted at 04:55h, 10 AugustI’m thinking bunting or a quilt…..
Can’t wait to see your outfit – my son gets married on the 28th, much excitement in our house too!
Neroli
Posted at 05:42h, 10 AugustI would have said a quilt for the bridal couple but it would be HUGE if it used all that much yardage. I’m going to have to guess at something more extravagant: tents or canopies for a garden setting? You are amazing. Whatever it is you are making there is a lot of work in sewing up all that much fabric. Your daughter is very lucky.
PetePartin
Posted at 05:44h, 10 AugustTablecloths and napkins.
Cindy C.
Posted at 05:56h, 10 AugustI’m thinking you’ve set up a steep challenge of some sort for yourself. Since you were previously in the designer apron business, I’m going to guess that the reception will have waiters, waitresses, and help staff wearing your beautiful designer aprons made up in beautiful color and fabric combinations to brighten up the event and to be immediately identifiable as they move through the crowd, and that afterward the aprons become theirs to keep as a thank you gift on top of the usual tipping.
Barbara Hewitt
Posted at 06:19h, 10 AugustI think you are making table runners for tablecloths
amcclure2014
Posted at 06:46h, 10 AugustI originally thought bows for the chairs. I like the idea of table covers/runners and napkins. Then I thought favours. Now I reckon a wedding ring quilt – I’m not a quilter so have no idea how much fabric that takes but reckon this yardage would cover it. I didn’t know you were previously an apron designer so Cindy C’s idea is great. Whatever you make will be lovely. Good luck for the big day.
I’d lovely to win the Susan Khjale giveaway. Anne
sewanneuk.blogspot.co.uk
Debbie
Posted at 07:10h, 10 AugustI think a beautiful quilt for the bridal couple.
Bunny
Posted at 07:40h, 10 AugustA Koos Van den Akker knockoff?
Lornalynne
Posted at 07:54h, 10 AugustI agree with Debbie. I think your project is a quilt.
Nani Blyleven
Posted at 08:17h, 10 AugustI’m guessing 15 tablecloths, because with all your other obligations, that would be all you could commit to do with 15 different fabric pieces!
Joy Mays
Posted at 08:20h, 10 AugustHi, Thanks so much to you and Susan Khalje for such an exciting opportunity to win this class. I am excited for the upcoming classes that are to come on her web site. Also, very excited to see the wedding pictures of your dress. My son got married last October and I remember the vortex! I am now in the baby vortex…due 9-22! I have absolutely no idea what you are making. That is a lot of fabric. Ladies have thrown out some very good ideas. My official guess is a quilt but I think that is more fabric than you would need and I can’t imagine doing the MOB dress, the wedding and a quilt all so close to the wedding. You amaze us all with your creative nature and your productivity.
Congrulations to the happy couple and to the parents of the bride! I look forward to your future post and hopefully one day upon retirement to attending a Susan khalje class in person!
Best wishes, joy
catdoesit

SunGold
Posted at 09:32h, 10 AugustBridesmaid dresses for the reception.
Marlene
Posted at 09:56h, 10 AugustI think it’s tablecloths, and depending on the size of the tables, maybe napkins too. I’m excited to learn what it could possible be!
Susie Reardon
Posted at 10:27h, 10 AugustNapkins or table topper
Brenda
Posted at 10:30h, 10 AugustI would guess it is for bunting (I did the same for my daughter’s wedding).
Rachel
Posted at 10:35h, 10 AugustThere are several items you could make! Last year for my son’s wedding I made several table runners that were used for the Shower and for the groom’s dinner. I also made triangle banners that were used for decorations at the groom’s dinner. I embroidered a huge sign that said “Just Married” and I also embroidered the ring pillow. In order, I would guess, banners, table runners, napkins, robes for the bridesmaids and all women in the party. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
June Lovell
Posted at 10:38h, 10 Augustquilt
Sue Dickinson
Posted at 10:47h, 10 August52 yards of fabric is a lot of sewing whatever you are doing: very intriguing and lots of fun to guess! I think you are making more than one item so my guess is bunting, table runners and wedding favour gift bags. Good Luck and enjoy the day.
Amy Jamieson
Posted at 11:06h, 10 AugustTable toppers! How pretty to have 15 tables of different, but coordinated fabrics. And I feel your pain. I planned my own March 2014 wedding and sewed my own dress. I bought Susan’s Khalji’s Craftsy course and it was a godsend. Her muslin making process was so helpful and freeing that by the time it came to cut and sew the 4 ply silk and crepe de chine underlining (45 yds total!) I was fairly relaxed. So much so that I was still sewing the beading onto my lace back THE DAY OF MY WEDDING! As I was getting my hair done! Well, and I might be a wee bit of a procrastinator too. I prefer to think of it as I do my best work under pressure! 🙂 good luck! I’m sure it will be beautiful.
sharon
Posted at 11:30h, 10 Augusti think table runners or napkin. not enough for anything else.
If it is napkins or runners . after the wedding you could make a fabulous quilt for the newlyweds!
Dawn
Posted at 11:33h, 10 AugustWow, I hope we don’t have to get this right! I’m going to vote for making little fabric water bottle bags for guests. You know, so they can easily hang onto pretty water bottles to stay hydrated during the warm, summer ceremony. (I have no idea where this idea came from……)
Kerri
Posted at 12:12h, 10 AugustSo glad you’re ok – I really enjoy reading your blog.
Are you making fabric flowers? Or maybe bags as wedding favours.
Am sure the answer will be interesting and something I’d never even think of!
joen
Posted at 12:20h, 10 AugustI am going to say table runners and possible napkins to match. My daughter is getting married September 2015 so I can only imagine how busy you are right now!
Karen H
Posted at 12:29h, 10 AugustThat’s a lot of fabric! I would have to guess that you are making tablecloths and/or napkins. With all that Amy Butler fabric, it is sure to be beaufiful

Emmely
Posted at 08:32h, 11 AugustNapkins? Although with that much yardage I feel kind of sorry for you if you really have to turn all of that fabric into napkins…
Diane O
Posted at 08:33h, 11 AugustI’m thinking tablecloths or table runners. My daughter was married on August 2 – the wedding vortex is inescapable! And, it takes a while to get out of! Good luck!

cathynd95
Posted at 09:18h, 11 AugustAll my thoughts/ideas have been mentioned – tableclothes for the rehearsal dinner, chair covers for the same, pjs for the bridal party, pillow cases, hand bags…. so maybe a combination of some of these – say PJs AND pillow cases with a bag to carry them in ?
studiosisters
Posted at 09:18h, 11 AugustEither gift bags or napkins. No matter what it is – good luck!! We’ve missed you, but are wishing you luck and happiness as you go through the process. We’ll ‘see’ you when you’re able. Best wishes!! 🙂

lizafrica
Posted at 12:04h, 11 AugustHi Sarah,
I’m with you! Been there and it was a vortex….good description! It will pass all too quickly. In fact, don’t be surprised by the rather odd sense of deflation once she had left the wedding reception to begin her new life with the man of her dreams. THAT is when I cried…not before. OOPS I was supposed to humour you!! OK…..she returns and is your friend for life. And she appreciates all you are doing for the wedding.
OK so my guess is chair covers & table overlays for the reception.
Liz Thompson.
lise
Posted at 12:17h, 11 AugustI think it’s tablecloths. Good luck! It’s going to look beautiful!

Posted at 12:23h, 12 AugustObviously, with all that fabric, you must be making a hot air balloon, in which the wedded couple will gently float above the attendees, being whisked away on gentle winds on their honeymoon. Smooth sailing!
Lorie Hughes THoms

Posted at 20:31h, 12 AugustWedding and/or reception decor. An aisle runner? Chair covers? Napkins? Tablecloths? Table runners? Table cloth covers?
Whatever you’re making, enjoy, ad congratulations to the bride, the groom, and both families!
Marilyn Sweet
Posted at 21:56h, 12 AugustWhat a privilege to be entered into the drawing for this coveted class with Susan Khalje! My guess is that with 50+ yards of colorful fabric, you’re making center runners for some lovely tables. Or …. perhaps napkins for several hundred guests. Or …… perhaps place mats for a much more intimate dinner during the festivities. Enjoy these days of joyous fatigue. You bless us all with your good cheer. May you be likewise blessed!
Meg Kundert
Posted at 22:46h, 12 AugustThis is a lot of fabric, about 26′ x 26′ if it’s only 44″ wide. I’m thinking a canopy of some sort, or perhaps a carpet/dance floor mat if it’s an outdoor wedding.
Lorraine
Posted at 03:11h, 13 AugustTablecloths for the reception?
Cathi Q

Sandra (Sewist-Stitch)
Posted at 07:33h, 13 AugustSusan Kahlje is a super star and to win her class would be amazing. Looking at the fabric I’m going to say that you are making a quilt for a wedding pressie otherwise with all those colours of fabric it could be a technicolour coat!

So thankful for the opportunity to win, Susan Khalje is a total hero of mine.
MJ Fong
Posted at 13:46h, 16 AugustA co-worker was showing me tablerunners for a shower that had yet to be delivered from ebay source.Told her how she could make her own.I think you are having a tropical theme banquet! Tablecloths would be beautiful and recyclable.
Sarah Dale

Maria

joclaude
Posted at 19:53h, 16 AugustNapkins; that array of colours would look fabulous on plain white tablecloths with exuberant summer flowers and candlelight.
Judith
Posted at 22:21h, 16 AugustCould it be Bridal Bunting, to be strung around for decoration?!? &our fabric colours are beautiful! Enjoy the wedding journey … J
Liberty Hall
Posted at 03:50h, 17 AugustOooh, is it bunting? Very trendy in the UK right now.
dianesusandresses

Brenda Everett
Posted at 07:18h, 17 AugustTable runners for a very festive occasion? Have a happy wedding!!
Paula Jarvis
Posted at 10:19h, 17 AugustMy guess is draping & poufs for the sides of the tables, perhaps a canopy for the bride and groom, along with small wedding favor holders.
Rose
Posted at 11:09h, 17 AugustI’m going with the wedding bunting. Mind you, 52 yards of it is a lot of bunting. Whatever it is, I’m sure it will look really lovely, and I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Cathy Wirtz
Posted at 13:10h, 17 AugustMy guess is the projects are table coverings.
celeste
Posted at 17:02h, 17 AugustWith that amount of fabric, you could cover a dance floor, so it has to be much more than a bunting. I think you are making table runners with napkins for the tables, and maybe tote bags for the bridesmaids. I think you should also make yourself a badge that says “MOTHER OF THE YEAR!!!”
Tracy H.
Posted at 19:22h, 17 AugustGoody bags for the bridesmaids
Sarah M
Posted at 13:07h, 18 AugustI’m going with table toppers. Have fun with all that fabric! So…much…fabric…

Sewing Princess
Posted at 16:08h, 18 AugustBunting, maybe? And you would cover the whole neighborhood!
Rita Holladay
Posted at 21:26h, 18 AugustSecond guess here. As I was trying on clothing in a darling shop today I looked up and saw ruffled lamp shades for the lights. I’m now thinking ruffled or gathered covers for lanterns along with bunting; streamers etc. Maybe markers along the way to the wedding or reception site. Whatever you are making I’m sure you made a muslin beforehand and added 1 inch seams!! Just kidding. I’m going to check the weather in SC on Sat. now. Hope it is spectacular in every way..
Joannie 2
Posted at 08:35h, 19 AugustThanks for the chance to win this wonderful prize. Knowing how busy you are with all the wedding prep I admire you taking on another project. My guess is ( I want to say aprons since you had a business making aprons) but I think I’ll say chair scarfs.
Wandering Anne
Posted at 11:15h, 19 AugustGift bags were my first thought, but they could also be chair covers and napkins to match solid color tablecloths. Best wishes for a wonderful time!
