Sewing Students Give Wedding Dresses New Life as Baptismal Gowns
18.05.12
It may sound cliché, but Lutheran North senior Tommy Carlson is speaking literally when he says it took blood, sweat and tears to finish his latest project in Sewing II.
Under the guiding eye of consumer science teacher Pam Jagoda, Carlson and his fellow second semester sewing students have spent the last month transforming used wedding dresses into baptismal gowns for hospitalized infants.
“A nurse at a local hospital approached the principal’s wife at (Lutheran North) and she approached me about the project,” Jagoda said. “Parents from the school and local churches donated their wedding gowns and the students made them into baptismal gowns.”
Starting with 12 dresses in total, students used patterns and their own creativity to craft baptismal gowns of all fabrics and designs.
Hannah Schilling had the unique opportunity to use her mother’s wedding dress, while partners Jessica Frocillo and Elise Anderson designed their gown to incorporate the lace and bow that drew them to the original dress.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: A NGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT are thrilled to pieces over their fabulous secret wedding on a beach in the Bahamas!
With only their six children, the kids’ nannies and a few close friends as witnesses, they’ll say “I do” near the spot where Angelina scattered her late mother’s ashes, The ENQUIRER has learned.
“The wedding will be held before Angie heads to England to begin filming her next project, the movie ‘Maleficent,’ in June,” said a source close to the Hollywood superstars.
“The ceremony will take place in the same tropical setting where Angelina spread her beloved mom Marcheline’ s ashes. She’s convinced her mother’s spirit will be with her on her big day, and Angelina is filled with joy just thinking about it.”
As The ENQUIRER recently reported, the newly engaged couple had planned to tie the knot in a splashy affair before hundreds of guests at their renovated $70 million estate on the French Riviera, Chateau Miraval.
