Taking Measurements

The weather has definitely changed this week to facilitate activities indoors - sewing!  My Needlecrafts for Charity club spent Monday continuing the Days for Girls project and also receiving a lesson in taking body measurements.

The club members wanted to start a sewing project for themselves and add some new sewing skills.  I was delighted to oblige.  Kim graciously volunteered to be my model for measuring techniques.  Did you know that to find your natural waist, you bend to the side, and wherever that "crease" is on your side, is the location of your natural waistline?  It helps to use some yarn or string to then tie around your natural waist.  From this marker, other measurements can be taken.

Later this morning, our group will visit a couple local fabric shops where we will purchase fabric to make pajama bottoms; I'll post some pictures next week.  It's supposed to be rainy and windy today, so a great time to be inside a fabric shop and gaze at all the wonderful colors and feel all the nice textures......  Enjoy your weekend!
