My husband doesn't sew, alas, but I know several men who do.

In fact, once my brother and his wife were getting ready to go to a Civil War re-enactment event and he sewed her a new camp dress while she made his black powder bullets.

If my brother hadn't lived all the way across the country from me when I was planning my wedding, I might have asked him to sew my gown.

On the other hand, my guy is plenty diverse. He's a musician/singer/songwriter, a whiz with computers, a decent car mechanic, and reasonable electrician. Oh, and a walking encyclopedia about The Beatles, Steely Dan, Broadway musicals up to about 1930, Mozart, old radio shows (Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Fibber McGee and Molly, Eddie Cantor, etc.), and nearly anything Patrick McGoohan has ever appeared in.

Yeah, he keeps me entertained. He also does a killer Al Jolson impression.

Oh, and while he's not the world's most inspirational cook, he's more than capable of turning out a decent meal when needed.

My guy. I think I'll keep him.

Yours sounds wonderful, too! I think it's great that he made your wedding gown.

My fiance cooks and sews, but I wouldn't let him sew my wedding dress. He's not supposed to see it until I'm in it walking down the aisle! He also knows how to macrome and make dream catchers, so yeah. I've got one that actually does more than channel surf and play golf. However, I like to take pride in my domestic prowess, so just because he can do those things doesn't mean I let him do it all the time. (I'll admit, I can't sew that well and I'm a little jealous). He humors me, and we usually compromise. He's a really great guy.

Awesome! My husband burns water, so I would probably pass out if he showed me a skill like this!

My husband can't sew a button back on his trousers. I can't imagine what type of train wreck he would assemble as a wedding gown.

You should sign him up for Project Runway~ Is he catering your wedding too with his fab. cooking skills?

Very cool! Congrats!

I am looking to trade my husband in for a Marine Vet…one that can cook and sew… what unit was he is…. =) just kidding!
I would settle for my husband to do a load of laundry once in a while…. that is far as he goes for touching material
You can wear your dress proud!
