The sixth meeting of The
Wawanosh Life Skills 4-H Sewing
Club was held on Friday, July 12 at
Gerrie Bos’s house in Blyth. Bos
was the hostess for the evening.
Gerrie’s basement was set up with
sergers, regular sewing machines,
ironing boards, irons and other tools
that we needed, such as scissors,
pins, fabric and patterns.
Vice-President Cassandra got the
meeting started with the pledge and
then leader Eileen told members that
they would be going to Sanity Hill
Quilting owned by Hilda Wales for
Achievement Day. Leader Cathy
explained what we would be doing
for this meeting and that was to
serge mission hats and sew aprons.
Next, members started working on
their hats and aprons. Before they
knew it, everyone had finished their
projects and the sewing time was up.
Members then had snacks which
were provided by Shaelyn. Leader
Cathy discussed when members
would hand in their project books.
