Just one seam and it would be a safer garment.<br /><br />Sewing and quilting circles are making ponchos for local people in need. I am donating ponchos to First Presbyterian of Atlanta for the domestic shelter they manage next Tuesday. <br /><br />If this is useful, many people will enjoy making them, and for free!Charlotte Fairchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172408310161822867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575510534457225578.post-2136827486779793192011-02-22T12:29:30.527-08:002011-02-22T12:29:30.527-08:00Thank you, ladies for your kind words.

He donated money after I gave him two ponchos. Making money from ponchos was never my intent. Teaching people how to make them and letting this become something that helps so many people is what I would really like. I did offer to sell them at one time but there was no response.Charlotte Fairchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172408310161822867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575510534457225578.post-35833159892855282922011-02-06T12:09:36.310-08:002011-02-06T12:09:36.310-08:00I know, I couldn't resist posting the "ki...I know, I couldn't resist posting the "kitty" photo:) I love the ones she creates using those lux fabrics and since she buys a lot of remnants, it keeps costs lower.
