Today's post is the last one on community helper vests. Can you tell I had a lot of fun making these? I have always been creative but never crafty. I like sewing costumes because I can screw things up and it doesn't really matter. Note: I have no desire to sew real clothing. Why go to all that trouble when I can buy it off the rack? I do find sewing rather relaxing. I live in a house full of talkers, but my sewing machine is loud enough that no one can talk to me when I'm sewing. Ahhh...the bliss of silence!
The girls and I had fun taking pictures with the police vests.

I used the following source as inspiration:
