Sewing Soiree Summation

Another Sewing Soiree has come and gone already.  Projects worked on:

a quilt, a baby blanket, girl's camp capes, refashioning a swimsuit and swimsuit cover-up, shirt embellishment, and chair reupholstering.  Progress was made on all.

Are those the cutest skinny jeans you've ever seen?!

She slept through most of the evening and let her momma start on an adorable bird blanket. [I introduced wonder under to Amanda for her appliqued blanket--we'll talk more about it later.]

How do you build a fire without wood?

Some of the evening's beverage choice

Julie came with a shirt she made, but thought it too plain.  "I'm so over it," she said.  We discussed the options and decided on this one:

two differing layers of bias, ruffled in a zig-zag pattern with a ruffled narrow ribbon added to give it just the right touch.  We decided she could find a shirt just like this at Anthropologie for $79.  Want a shirt embellished?  Come on over!

Ticking and German cookies.  A great combo.

I always smoke up my walls.  Sheesh.

Thanks to all who came!
[and thank you to my babysitter and thank you to my love for having a business trip.]
I always love to see what you're working on.

Next time we're going to have a specific project.

Start submitting ideas of what you'd like to learn.

I'll take photos of each step for those unable to attend.
