A Week to Remember!!!


For the past three years, the girls have sewed their own outfits during February vacation. We take a trip to Joann Fabric and the girls choose their own patterns and material. Then we have a
whole week of cutting, sewing, pinning, and frustration! Four girls plus four sewing progects in four days equal maybe forty more gray hairs on MY head. We did have some fun times this past week, and I'm sure the girls will always remember the one sewing project per year requirement and the lessons learned. I know I will! Thanks girls, for the week.













Sarah will be noticed in this apple green skirt.


















Elisabeth was the only one to sew a dress. Notice the matching bags Elisabeth and Hannah made.










Hannah looks pretty in pink!















The finished products. They look like spring. In case you are wondering where Rachel is in this picture, she was camera shy.

I am so very proud of all of you. . .especially the gray haired one! What a monumental effort and such beautiful results. Any zippers in the group? Looks like a group well on their way to becoming Proverbs 31 women. 1000 bravos to all. (Even Rachel)

There were two zippers. Thank you Janet. It brings back memories of my mother teaching me how to sew. I don't think I was a very willing student either, but I'm glad I learned.
