I Had the Best Day Sewing With Friends

I had the best day today sewing little dresses with my Bee friends, what a wonderful group of women.  They have rallied around my project of sewing little dresses for Dress a Girl Around the World and everyone made a dresss or two today.

We met at Cynthia's lovely home and she had everything set up for us in her family room.  Tables, two ironing boards, irons, cutting stations, and dress kits using some of her stash, all cut with the back seam serged.  To top it off, she had already made the pockets.  What a time saver.

  

There we were, six ladies busy sewing on six Featherweights, what an awesome sight.  My Featherweight, aka Charlotte, decided to act up and was not sewing right,   Many thanks to Adrienne for getting her threaded correctly and making her perfect little stitches again.  What do they always say,  "if your Featherweight has a problem first rethread your machine."

Cynthia had told us, "if anyone wants to stay after noon, I'll have a few snacks."  Well, a few snacks was lunch in her dining room with little ham and egg sandwiches, delicious macaroni salad, fresh fruit and cheese from the morning snacks.  Of course we had to have another piece of her Butter Pound cake.  Wish I had taken a picture of her dining room and the group along with her new Spode dishes.

We took a quick break and we went out to the garage where Cynthia's husband is building a sail boat. We were all impressed to say the least and Greg was very patient as we asked our many novice sailing questions.  Happy sailing, Greg.
