The abundance of goods has relieved modern women of the need do handicrafts. They do this either in connection with their profession or the dictates of the soul.





Whether this is good or bad is a rhetorical question. It seems like time instead of sewing and knitting, you can spend it on something more pleasant and useful. But, on the other hand, girls can do even basic things They can’t when they need to. Even sew on a button.



One of Claudia's pets

But paws are not about Claudia. When the owner is small Cedar Hill Fiber Farm proposed to her boyfriend, she answered with consent. But I decided that I would create a wedding dress with your own hands. And only from natural materials - wool animals, which Claudia sells.

The main supplier was the sheep Agnes. The hostess chose her for the densest and thickest fleece. Of course, I had to work hard to carefully cut off the wool. But it was worth it.





Haircut just started

The Angora goat Timmy performed a duet with Agnes. Wool Angora goats are surprisingly soft and gentle. And mixed with sheep gave luxury preparation.

Claudia prepared the wool - washed, combed and dried, so that the fiber becomes homogeneous. According to the craftswoman, she is on her own I didn’t expect such a solution - a wool dress with my own hands.



But the important day had to be met fully armed. And the bride continued working - combed out the workpiece and formed light lumps.



Loom of Claudia

The next important step was spinning - a long and labour intensive. As a result, about 700 meters were obtained from a fluffy sheep's coat. fine thread, which the girl processed on a loom and turned into material for the top of the dress. Planned to use on a skirt factory fabric, and silk as a lining.



Important milestone

The next stage - cutting became the most responsible. After all it was categorically impossible to spoil the work that took months. The girl was worried that the pattern might shift due to the structure homespun matter. But everything turned out to be simpler than expected. The craftswoman didn’t even use tailor’s pins - it was so perfect everything lay.



And an important day

Claudia bought and sewed transparent fabric with embroidery for the veil accessory itself. And the highlight was the edging - lace from the same woolen thread from which the dress was sewn. Thanks to the veil trim lay in neat waves on the shoulders, emphasizing the laconic and gentle image of the bride. And she didn't have to worry about the wind whipping curls.



I will also give wool when I grow up

How do you like the result? Was it worth the effort, or is there no point in such a labor-intensive process and is it easier to buy a ready-made dress?
