I got my sew on tonight.
I was all different kinds of jittery.
Every anxiety I had regarding that blasted, double-crossing bobbin was realized, but I pressed on.
With a little bit of help.
A little, a lot, whatevs.
I was the problem student in the class, and I'm ok with that if you are.
My fun friends Lindsay and Jess organized this rendezvous.

My fun friends Lindsay and Jess organized this rendezvous.
They gathered a group of crafty cats and wannabes (I can attest that there was at least one wannabe in the crowd...) for the event - Crafting Hope.
We each brought a pillowcase and the necessary supplies to stitch up a dress for a little girl in Africa.

We chatted and stitched.
Some of us became friendly with the seam-ripper.

It turns out that while I was prepared in the pillowcase area, I did not bring pins. Or a tape measure. Or elastic. Or seam binding. My homey Brooke totally hooked me up. Thanks, B.
I did have scissors in my basket, so I'm not totally lame.
I also happened upon a few crayon hearts, a random burlap bag, two vintage hankies and a sequined number 6. Bonus points, anyone?
Anyone?
This is what a finished dress looks like - courtesy of Lindsay - Sewing Maven Extraordinaire.
She also has the patience of a Saint, or so I've been told.
In the end, everyone finished a dress.
With one notable exception.
But I'm not naming any names.
