Babs Defined Sewing





Babs never shirked a challenge in her life, and certainly never said no to a difficult sewing problem.

Her ability to take on and deliver any seamstress task was reinforced last weekend.
We went to a memorial service for dear departed at Babs church in Grove. After the service  several parishioners asked if we knew about the curtains she'd made for the church hall.

The picture shows the hall window which takes up the whole wall, virtually from floor to eaves.

Apparently a local engineer designed the drapes. Babs sourced the fabric, hired special machines, and with a couple of willing helpers made the curtains over a weekend.
She had to sit on the floor next to the machines because the floor was the only surface big enough to lay out the fabric.

The parishioners remember Babs every time they use the hall.

Looking at this sewing feat its easy to understand why.
