The Adventure Continues...
After we bought a very large amount of fabric and various sundries for the aprons,
we attacked the project with great enthusiasm. Autumn and I split the piles of
white and blue fabric, washed and ironed it, and then had a cutting out party.
Four women with shears and rotary cutters - watch out world! Everyone took
their allotted number of aprons to sew and off we went! In the end I believe
we had around 12 finished USO aprons by the WWII Weekend in June. Four
more are currently in the works
Here is what was seen for several months...white and blue and more white and blue!
It was a delight to see everyone's work during the WWII Weekend! Even though everyone had the same fabric and the same directions....each and every apron is unique to the seamstress. Below are several pictures of the completed aprons and the girls who wore them.
Before we move on to the pictures...here is a bit of background info on the USO (United Service Organizations). Just in case you were wondering! :)
Here is a bit of music and dancing to get us right in the mood and distract us...
The finished products and seamstresses!

P.S. Here is a video of the Saturday dance at the WWII Weekend. It gets rather crazy out there! It's so much fun to see people you know - still can't find Autumn, Aisha, or myself in there...but we were there!
