Description:
This so made me cry tears of joy and sentiment. The tuxedo Connor is wearing is the one tailoring project I ever did (it was in a classroom). I made it in 1998....for Connor’s dad, who wore it to prom. Connor is considering wearing it next week for the homecoming dance at his school. I’ll be surprised if he chooses to actually do it, because it’s pretty retro, but just seeing him in it makes my heart swell with joy.
Project done completely on my iPad with ProCreate.

      whoa, you made that? GO SHARRON! How cool it fits him, and regardless of whether that's his final choice for hoco, it's so darn sweet he tried it on. Definitely a heart-swelling pic for you, and what a fun LO to remember it! :)

      So glad you got this picture and shared the story with us. Nice looking young man and how cool that he can wear his dad's suit. Great tradition.

      When our granddaughter graduated from high school we encountered a young man in the parking lot with a tie on. I commented on how much I liked it and he explained to me that he was the 3rd generation of his family to wear it at graduation from this school -- his grandfather, his father and now him. Yes to great traditions.

      You'll have to tag us if your grandson decides to wear the tuxedo. This is truly a spectacular page! Love the red accents.

      WOW! Well done - on the suit and the layout! My dress for my junior prom I made WITH my (at that time) boyfriend's mom - they lived down the road and their family were our best friends. I still have it - and I hope one day my little lady might wear it.
