Ruffled Happiness!

Crafting with friends it the best and today we did just that! With a little apprehension, because they had never sewn before, our friends, Brie and Kristen, conquered the ruffled aprons!  After munching on chicken salad croissant sandwiches (yes, they're back!), homemade pickles, chips, dip, and gluten free brownies made with coconut oil, we got down to business.  First, the girls picked out their fabric strips (4-5 did the trick). 

 Then it was time to fold over, iron, and sew to finish the edges of each fabric strip.  

Then came the hard part - ruffling the fabric.  After a few trials and errors (only one broken needle - which is NOT BAD AT ALL - better than my first attempt), the girls were on their way to ruffled happiness!

Brie and Kristen, thank you so much for spending your Saturday crafting with us!  Your final products are colorful and fun - just like you!  Until next time, happy crafting!
