Wawanosh Sew Easy Club meets
Sew easy
The Wawanosh 4-H Club's new project, the Sew Easy Club,
recently met in Auburn to learn a bit about making pajamas
for themselves. Members Amanda Bos and Abby Robinson
were in Auburn learning from Marilyn, a local seamstress
who was able to teach the members all the tricks of the
trade. (Photo submitted)
By Loretta Higgins
The second meeting of the
Wawanosh 4-H Sew Easy Club was
held on Monday July 2 at 1:30 p.m.
at the Auburn Hall. As they arrived,
members helped the leaders set up
stations for their various sewing
tasks.
Once everyone was settled, Leader
Mary Ellen introduced members to
Marilyn, who is a seamstress who
sews various items to send to charity
organizations. President Abby then
opened the meeting with the pledge
and followed with roll call which
was "Name a sewing machine part.
Locate it on the machine. Describe
what it does."
Mary Ellen then told the club to
think of a club name and then the
club got to work. Loretta and Kayle
worked with Leader Cathy, cutting
the patterns and starting on their
pajamas. Amanda and Abby went
with Marilyn to start their pajamas
as well, and then Melina and
Cassandra went with Eileen to
practise sewing on buttons, tracing
shapes using the sewing machines
and learning how to hem. After
everyone got a good start on their
projects, the club took a break to
have a snack and go stretch their legs
outside.
Once everyone came back inside,
the club closed the second meeting
with the motto and then officially
opened its third meeting with the
pledge and roll call. Roll call was a
series of questions including: "What
other things besides clothing is it
possible to sew? Who do you know
that sews a lot? What kinds of things
does this person sew?" Many items
given were curtains or quilts and the
people that sew were mostly aunts
and grandmothers.
The club then talked about the
characteristics of natural and
synthetic fibres and the differences
between knit and woven fabrics.
With some members already having
used patterns for their pajamas,
Cathy pointed out some key aspects
on the package of the patterns such
as sizing, materials needed and
approximate material needed. The
club also brainstormed some ideas
$250 to $259; 110 lbs. and over,
$204 to $241 / lb.
Sheep sold $90 to $130.
Goats: billies sold $150 to $300;

lbs. and sold for an average price of

consigned 25 lambs that averaged 76
lbs. and sold for an average price of

for a club name then voted on

With the business out of the way,
members rotated their stations from
before and went back to work on
their projects or enhancing their
sewing skills. Satisfied with all their
hard work, the club cleaned up their
materials and closed the meeting
with the motto.
The next meeting will be Saturday
July 14 from 1:30 - 5 p.m. at the
