The pillow that bears the ring...
So it is the night before my friends wedding, and everyone is exhausted. There is still so much to do. Bri's mom still has 8 hours or so of work to do on the my and the Matron's dresses, Bri needs her beauty sleep, and I have to make a pair of earrings and some poof purses. All of this needs to be done before 9:AM when we all depart to Log Haven for the ceremony.
Oh, and the Ring Bearer's pillow hasn't even been started. Since it appeared that I had the simplest and quickest tasks to accomplish that night, I volenteered to make the pillow. Bri and I had a quick consult and decided that she wanted a white satin bottom (material left over from her dress), a maroon top (material left over from the Bridesmaids dresses) and then lace all over everything (lace left over from her dress) with bows in each of the four corners (ribbon left over from the trim of the Bridesmaids dresses). Her mom and her had also found an antique silver box to hold the rings in that they wanted to somehow put on the pillow, and the finace's brother (the ring bearer) has down syndrome, so the box had to be fixed on there good!
I pack everything up and head for my parents house. I find out that none of the sewing machines were working, so I had to sew the whole thing by hand. Also, there wasn't enough of one peice of maroon to cover the top of the pillow, so several peices had to be peiced together. At about 4:AM, it was finally done.
