Cutting the aprons.....Leftover Kerchief from a giant gets recycled.......

Here is Jennifer, modeling her apron to be. It was a giant kerchief, probably meant to be a card tablecloth.....so cute! She made every angle and border go just right. Even the pockets were going to line up when they were added.

It will look so cute with her jeans when it is finished. Her mom is also a member of our chapter, and she made a blue apron from a scrap of fabric she had. I can't wait to see all the finished products next time, and it got to be 10:00 and we were still sewing.

The girls love to come to these meetings, as it is a night out for them, and hubbies get the kids for the evening. I love having them, as they are all sweet Christian women, and so much fun!

Would you believe all these tiny women have 7 children among them and one on the way? The two older mommies, Donna and I had only children, so we are so blessed to have all the little ones in our lives.

Dueling Needles

The North Florida Farmgirls have fun and lots of laughs (although here they are hard into concentration) as we made aprons. I should say they made aprons.....I worked on the quilt I am making for the new little one on the way. I only use my fingers to sew. However, after watching them, I almost wanted to get a machine of my own and learn. Here is Brittney and Julia hard at work.

North Florida Farmgirls September Meeting

Well, it has been a long time since I added anything to this blog but I had to tell everyone about our last farmgirl meeting. We got together and made aprons from a MaryJanesFarm pattern. It was also Tom's birthday, so one of the gals brought a cake. We called him down to the kitchen, since he runs for the upstairs during our meetings....and he slowly came down wondering why we needed him to sew aprons. We surprised him by singing Happy Birthday and then we had cake and ice cream......that was before we even broke out the scissors. Cake first, work second. This first photo is Julia trying her apron on before sewing to make sure it fit at the neck. You can barely see her mommy tummy, but it is there! She made her apron from a vintage sheet she found at Goodwill. It was so soft and pretty with pale lavendar flowers. The lace you see is the apron she was wearing underneath her newly cut one. I thought the two looked nice together!
