Sip 'n Sew

This weekend I hosted my very first sewing party for four of my vintage-loving girlfriends.  We titled the event, "Sip 'n Sew".  Everyone enjoyed cocktails and appetizers as I guided the girls through the same 1940's halter top pattern.  Before the party I sent a detailed email to the girls that listed the supplies that they needed to bring as well as the agenda for our get-together.  I traced the pattern pieces onto damask wrapping paper, which had a one inch grid on the back.  The grid made the tracing easy and the damask print added a bit of flair! 
Everyone took home a copy of the pattern.

Sew, sew, sew!

Our 9 ft dining room table came in handy!

Yay! Monica sewed her first seam ever!

Holland made a gorgeous blue gingham halter


I love Jeanette's aqua tropical fabric!
We all had a blast and have already planned our next sewing party.... pencil skirts!  My only regret is that I didn't get a picture with everyone together.  I'll just have to get one next time.  I am so lucky to have such a great group of like-minded, creative gals!

    What awesome tops! And what a fun idea to get everyone together for a sewing night. I don't know anyone in my area who sews apart from my mum so that is not something I could do. But if I knew people I would definately plan one.
