October Meeting -- October 17, 2019

Hi,

Our October meeting will be this Thursday, October 17 at 6:30 at Broadmoor United Methodist Church in the Adult Learning Building. 

We will be making port pillows and Betty will show us how to make the burp cloths using the pattern she has. 

Bring your sewing machine, scissors, and extension cords. We will be sewing through velcro so if you want, bring something to remove the sticky from your needle. If you don't want to bring your machine, there will be other jobs to help complete these port pillows, such as stuffing. The following website is the instructions for the port pillows we will be making this Thursday.

Thanks,

Cheryl
