Sewing

Last month I had to do some sewing to get ready for our Camp Fundraiser.  We had a spaghetti dinner, so why in the world did I have to do sewing, you ask.  Well , simple...

I made the YW all aprons to wear while they served dinner.  They turned out cute and added to our little restaurant atmosphere we were creating.  I made 16 of these babies.  
I have been busy working on other projects since this one and working on other camp stuff.  I don't get the sewing machine out as much as I would like to.  My friend Bryanna has started sewing clothes and making patterns.  You can find her projects here.  She made a cute cardigan pattern and she was nice enough to share it with me.  Today I finally had time to pull out the serger and sewing machine and do a little sewing.  I just used some fabric I had around the house to test the pattern out.  I haven't sewn with knit before so I wasn't sure how it would turn out.  

I think it turned out pretty good for a first attempt.  I think I need to go get a bunch of cute knit fabrics and make me a bunch more.  One in each of these colors and maybe some chevron print cardigans.
