WORK Day

Today was a WORK day at Sister Roxy's. Roxy's friend Dorothy came over and we had a busy sewing day. Yesterday we had bought lining and notions and today we made dress-up capes for Roxy's little grand-daughters. (Dorothy worked on her quilting project while we played with girlie stuff.) We had two different colors of washable velvet that we lined with the variegated starry fabric we bought yesterday. We made them reversible --the little girls can wear them with either side out.

Then there was this faux fur fabric with the hearts. Roxy wanted to make it into muffs for the little girls. While we were playing around with it, we started talking about the fact that our little grand-niece Ellie is going to have her first birthday in a week or so. We called her mother Becky to get a head measurement and made her a little ear band to go with the little muff we made for her. The only thing about that fake fir is that it is bear to sew. I think I managed to break three needles on the machine before we were done!

Then there was this cat! Yeti seems to think that all of the sewing we did was just to provide things for him to play with...
