We had a great meeting yesterday, but sadly, our Barbie sewing machine was not functioning. :) We worked on our sewing badge and try-its. I would like to ask the girls and you to make the no sew fleece blanket. This will count for one hour of service on the Inchworm chart. Instructions are in the links section. The brownies should finish their button picture and punch holes in their bird pictures and sew them with yarn. The t shirt vest pillow instructions are in the links section too. Please let me know if you don't have access to a sewing machine and we will figure something out. All of these projects are pretty simple. The juniors will need to also practice some machine stitching and visit Joanns to look at different types of fabrics. Look at the Sewing badge in your badge book for all the details. And welcome to Ela!!!
Notes:
· Please have the girls write a letter to Nayaira, our soldier. We are behind, and if we all write one, I will stagger them so that she gets a steady stream. Also, I’d like to collect for another care package, so please send magazines, books, candy, granola bars, hygiene items. Thanks!
· Cookie booths this weekend—please sign up if you haven’t already.
· Check the calendar on the blogsite for upcoming activities.
