Hats, hats, hats, and a few scarves

The Sewphisticuts kept up with the theme of community service from last month's meeting and did some more charity sewing this month.  Hudson River Housing will be the beneficiary of fleece hats and scarves to be given to clients just as the chilly weather begins to move in.  Eight of us showed up to cut out hats and scarves and sew them up.  Ninety minutes later, we had a stack of over 20 hats made with a few matching scarves.  About a dozen more hats were cut out and a few of us took them home to finish up.

Judy did a short presentation about free-motion embroidery to prepare us for trying it at next month's meeting.  She gave us a list of materials we will need and got us thinking about what we want to try.  The list will be emailed to members before next month's meeting.  We also had Show and Tell; pictures follow.

Peggy made a purse for a friend.....

as well as a knitted neckwarmer.
