Cupid is out Hunting

Secret Princesses are going to make their sweeties some Valentine PJ bottoms. What is needed?
"Borrow" a pair of pajama pants that are comfortable from your sweetie. (yes, scrubs will work also.)
Twice the length of your sweetie plus maybe 1/4 yard. (2 1/2 - 2 3/4 yard of 45" fabric.)
Thread
Drawstring material. IE- Twill tape, bias tape or you can make self drawstrings...just more work.
5/8 " - 3/4" elastic- enough for the waist.
If you can bring a sewing machine the night of the project, it will really help.
I am setting aside Thursday and Friday nights on the 1st week of February. If you don't think that will be enough time, I will be available on this Friday, I just need to know so I don't make new plans.
It was suggested we shop for fabric together which I am willing to do. I am available Friday after 3:00 PM.
Leave any questions in the comment section and I will try and answer them.
We will talk about T shirt tops later!
PS> My first pillow looks terrific and the second is coming along great.

Pillow Night

Our Pillow Night was so fun. We had a lot of fun learning this great technique. My mom was so patient with us. She didn't even get to work on her pillow. We are all busy stitiching and will post pictures when we get them finished. I am tickled with my pillow. I am half down with it right now. My mom is such a wonderful person and she doesn't even know it! Any ideas for Valentine gifts we can make for husbands that AREN'T sweet eats? We are thinking of that for next month.
Thanks again Mom.

13th Night

We are getting together on the 13th of January. 7:00 PM. ( I have district meetings that I can't blow off again. ) We will meet at my house. We will be instructed by a totally awesome woman...my mommy. She will be showing us a great technique to make pillows. You will need to bring: 1 yard of satin or if you can find it and don't want to have to mark fabric- 1 " gingham check. I personally am going for the satin. If it matters to you that the thread match, you better bring that also. I will provide pins, scissors, all that good stuff. I can't guarantee treats so if you want something, feel free to bring and share. (I will try...but...) Be thinking about the things you can share with the group. We want to celebrate everyone. Please leave a comment so I know how many are coming. Out of town guests are free to stay all night.
Love you!
