Done and done

Monday the 30th, I finished 7 angel gowns for Little A's rehearsal later that day (or I thought it was supposed to be that day).  Altogether, 15 gowns were needed but another mom was sewing the other 8 gowns.  I did manage to get an earlier start on costumes this year and all that was needed was to serge the sleeves and hems and give them a final press.  Usually I put it off so long that I'm a frantic basketcase. 

Here they are, all nice and pressed:

No matter how much I sew, I always learn something new with each project.  With the angel gowns  I learned that assembly line sewing really is faster and how to squeeze every last inch out of fabric.

While I worked on angel gowns, Little A was sewing her own project:

A Kitty Nativity!     Isn't it cute?!   She cut out their costumes from scraps and sewed them on my sewing machine.

Nippy is the Angel (see her wing peeking out on the left),

Sad Kitty is the Shephard (notice the real stick for a staff),

and Tigress is the Baby Jesus (with barnyard backdrop, lol).
