A large amount of people get married every year, and then what do you do with your wedding dress? I converted mine into cushions which I also gave to my mum and my sister. Sabrina contacted me and asked if I could convert her wedding dress into a small quilt. I love a challenge so I immediately agreed.

Here is Sabrina’s beautiful wedding dress…

My immediate thoughts were to think how to include the different types of fabric and how can I use the lace shoulder straps and front detail. The size Sabrina asked me for was 60cm by 90cm. The design I decided on was three rectangles in the centre and then a border of flying gueeze and then a border of squares. As the fabric is plain I wanted to include quite detailed patchwork.
