Sewing Diploma

Project complete! My moms sewing diploma is framed. I went with a very classic black frame, with the detail on the frame picking up some of the detail in the diploma itself. Rather than going for a plain matting, I selected a simple textured pattern. I think it turned out lovely, and will be proudly displayed in my sewing room. Looking at it brings back many memories of my mom teaching me sew and spending many hours with me helping me refine my sewing skills.

Update on the Sixty Year old Unfinished Project

Just wanted to give ya'll an update on the framing of my mom's sewing diploma. Yes it's back from the framers and it looks fabulous. I promise to post a photo in the next week or so.
Stay tuned...Christiana

Completion of the Sixty Year Old Unfinshed Project

We moved to Calgary last July, and although I setup my sewing room months ago the walls are bare. So this weekend I decided it was time to decorate those bare walls. One of the things that I've been carrying around with me for over 15 years is my mom's dressmaking diploma. A diploma that she earned in Holland in 1949. For years, my mom said she was going to frame it and display it in her sewing area. When she passed away in 1993, the diploma was given to me. And for over 16 years I've been saying I'm going to frame it and hang it in my sewing area. It took over sixty years, but that diploma is finally getting framed. It will be ready in a couple of weeks and I'm so excited to be able to display it in my sewing room.
