One end...
The othe end...
Tomorrow I put the finishing touches on 3 more and cut out 6 more scarves to make.
Another pleasant thing happened today. I was at my friend's house giving her sewing lessons and she finished her second project. I'm teaching her the new concepts for the third project, which will be a draft dodger. That's what she wanted to make.
Here was her first project (pillowcases). I told her she could topstitch the band for a more professional, RTW look which she did.:
Second project (baby burp cloth with interlining)
An on-her-own project of a matching pillow for her pillowcases:
After finishing her first project (two pillowcases), she went ahead and made a matching pillow with ruffle simply by studying the design of one she had on her bed. See how she pleated the ruffle? Such a nice touch. As a side note, I taught her how to gather (instead of using pleats) and she was so excited about it. She's seeing the possibilities :) ! She just asked me today about continuing lessons after our first set of 5. That's a definite, of course.
That's all for now. It's very late and the pre-Christmas rush has me exhausted.

Love the scarves you've made. What a wonderful gift idea. You are doing some beautiful embroidery work.
Sounds like your teaching project has taken off. Great news that you have a student who wants to continue.
That's great that you have such an enthusiastic student! Is this your new business venture - providing one-on-one sewing lessons? If so, I wish you lived in my area - I'd take lessons from you!
Thank you so much for the comment about Wonder Tape and zippers with stretch fabrics. No, I did not know this but it makes perfect sense and I'm so glad you took the time to tell me. I love my online friends!
You've been a very busy girl Kat! Nice job! Mary
Sounds like fun. You are a wonderful friend. How rewarding for the both of you. All of the projects are well sewn.
