Sure, I'm crafty. I can make paper crafts. I can make digital crafts. I'm even crafty in the kitchen. But sewing...really?
About a month ago, I was informed at work that I would be Dorothy in the upcoming office Halloween production. Seriously? The lead role? You might be wondering why our entire office would want to dress up as Wizard of Oz characters. Well, the president and founder of our company loves the Wizard of Oz and if he is having a rough day you can be sure that we will hear the Wizard of Oz soundtrack coming from his office. LOUD. AND. CLEAR. Someone (the HR manager) had the bright idea of surprising him with this Halloween theme. And what, you ask, does this have to do with sewing? I'm glad you asked. I needed a costume!
My friend, Peeper, graciously invited me to sewing night at the Master's house. (The Master = her mom.) They both got a kick out of my sewing ignorance.
Here I am using the surger machine. I had no idea there was such a beast!
And sewing on the final button.
Well, maybe I didn't sew the whole thing by myself. Here is the real seamstress, working her fingers to the bone. ;)
And here we have the cast of main characters. What a motley crew we are!
The Master of Sewing said I am welcome to any of their Monday Sewing Night Bonanza's. Maybe our next project will be window coverings. :) Thanks Peeper!!!

I love the borders! how cute!! just FYI, its serger (with an e), but there was no way to have known. perhaps if we get you addicted to sewing, next year you'll be going with us to the annual Sewing Guild conference (which, for this year, is tomorrow).
Impressive costume for a last minute endearvor! Your handiwork is amazing.

Now I feel like a bad mom because I didn't teach you the finer points of sewing. Did you have to learn on your own how to sew a button on? I've always found it cheaper and more fun to go shopping. The only thing I can lay claim to is Jason's ATU comforter and I don't think he ended up with one.
