Riveted Booklet Wedding Invitation






This invitation is riveting! Sleek, modern, clean and classy to say the least. This bookleted invite has four panels printed on textured felt weave white cardstock and is hand-mounted onto a rustic burnt orange panel. They are then hand-secured together with two rivets and a satin ribbon for added detail. This invitation mails in a #10 envelope.

The outer panel lists the bride and groom's names. Inside panel #1 is the invitation or ceremony details. Inside panel #2 is the RSVP reply. And inside panel #3 is a map representation taken from MapQuest and redrawn by Harmony Design to match your ceremony or reception location.

Beginners Sewing Class

McCall Pattern 5599

Okay, so it's been about 15 years since I was in a high school Home Economics class. I haven't sewn anything since my attempt at a sweatshirt and shorts. I did succeed however, and wore them for a couple years. Highschool, college, traveling, and drinking came along in between those 15 years and I lost my knowledge of sewing. I am taking a 4 week course at the local college with a co-worker to freshen up my skills and venture out onto another creative avenue.

This is the bag/purse that I am currently working on. I feel pretty good about myself and it's progress. Everyone else in the class is making sweatpants - something I despise. I will be done next class period and will post my fabulous work as soon as I can. Until then, happy sewing!
