Stitched up and bound

Dear souls, another glorious day spent in the art of the seamstress with my two dear like minded friends. Such fun and laughter to be had midst the flurry of activity and the whirring of machines. The style of the item to be made was prechosen and patterns prepared; the material had been chosen some time earlier in the summer, in such  delightful colours, well selected for each maker. Today saw the fabric, cut, sewn, bound, pressed, interfaced and lo a garment began to appear.  Dear souls, such is the expertise and skill of our dear friend that the quality of said garments really is above and beyond that which one would have hitherto achieved. Two very satisfied people have only the finishing to undertake and yet another garment will be complete, each fitting their maker perfectly. The gimlet eye of our dear friend and tutor ensures no stitch is left unpicked if her high standards are not achieved thus ensuring the very best of quality. Once the finishing is complete and a final press undertaken, will said garment be complete, for 'tis the pressing that is so vital throughout the procedure. The joy of producing such a garment to be proud of is second only to the delight of being so skilfully tutored by our dear friend and colleague.
