high country mommies had their third charitable crafting meet up on monday. we've been working on a large set of reusable pads to donate to the goods 4 girls campaign. our first meeting was just a trace and cut fest. that was a lot of work cutting out all the layers for 50 pads and after 3 hours we all had more cutting homework to take with us. at our second meeting we started putting things together. we layered the absorbant inards and stitched them down onto one side of flannel. we got all 50 pads done in this stage (yeah, this was the easy part) and pinned for the almost final sewing stage. which is where we were monday. sewing all the layers together. it was extremely tedious making sure everything lined up correctly and we only got through about half the pads. cayce did the majority of the work, being the lucky one without kids that day. the rest we divied out as homework.
next comes turning all these pads right side out (another tedious job), doing the finishing stitching and adding snaps. i will also be sewing wetbags to go along with our donation. these are some pictures from our 2nd meet up.
