Just have to take a few moments to brag on my friend Mary Lois. She decided a month or two ago that she wanted to learn to do some sewing. Her first project was a couple skirts. Simple, no-pattern-required skirts... one seam to make it around, elastic in the casing for the waistband and the hem. We did add a bit of pizzazz with some ric rac on one and seam tape on the other. She did fantastic! She is a great student and didn't even get frustrated at herself when she made mistakes. Well those were done around the end of April so she could take them home and wear them over Mother's Day.
The second project we finished last night. We had picked out a pattern for a diaper bag that also came with instructions for a changing pad and storage bag for it. We had cut out all the pieces on Saturday and decided that we also had enough left to make two small towels and 3 small washcloths. Saturday we began work on the bag. Sunday we finished the bag, the changing pad and its bag. Monday evening we went to get bias tape for the edging of the towels and washcloths. And last night she finished those! She is all set with her shower gift for her niece! And in addition, we believe we have enough left to do a small floor quilt, but will look at that further after Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Thursday!
