Well Begun Is Half Done!

Hurrah! First sewing project finished and it's an impromptu one.

Last week, our home helper Jude mentioned that one of her ladies, a sweet old darling in her eighties, was tormented with sores under her arms. Her illness made these difficult to cure, and nighties with sleeves or armholes were a torment to her. I said it would be a simple thing to rip back the armhole seams to a few inches down the sides and Jude asked me if I might help out by altering a nightie for her client.

So, last Sunday, I did just that, also adding ribbons so that the open arms could be tied for warmth and comfort without constriction. The lady was delighted and requested that I might alter two more nighties, with the promise that she would say rosaries for my named intentions. So! My first Lenten Lovely is to barter sewing for rosaries. How appropriate is that? I'm going to send along a note with these two, requesting rosaries for fellow Lenten Lovely Ladies Mari and Kate, and also for Rob.

Well begun is half done ladies! I showed mine, now you show yours! :P
