Brenda Sue - A question from the sewing challenged. Are these difficult? I would love to make some, but I really am challenged and only do VERY basic stuff. Is there another way I can help if the sewing together is beyond me? Could I do lots of cutting and have another N4M mom tackle the sewing piece? I so enjoyed what we did for the RMD and I really want to be an active part of the next January group.
Advice anyone? -

whats cool about these wraps is that they fit in an envelope (business size) and only take one stamp to send
-

Ohhhh Honeys I cant sew a thing I cant even cut a straight line ----- There is going to be so much for us to do with our January sailors that the sewing challenged can do :)
