They spent the day working on Wonky Star Blocks - we had a literal Chain Gang going on!
One of the girls broke her tibia and had to have surgery, so we sat her at the ironing table - and she became a master. The rest worked in pairs and stitched, and ironed and trimmed - and we might have had a little talking going on (just a little though)
Here they are in process
and here is the whole group in front of their progress
They made a LOT of blocks!
There were 17 softball players
and 7 of them were new to our sew days
It was SEW much fun!!
Thanks girls for your support - see you at the Softball fields!

Looks like a fun group of girls. Looks like they did a great job with the Wonky Stars.
ReplyDeleteIt gets me all teared up to see the girls do this. How do you interest them in coming and giving it a try? I would love to do something like this. I have a lot of sewing machines that could be used. You must have an organizing strategy. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job girls.
