On April 6 we got together to make our shirts Jeans, hats, coats, etc. Thev were fun to make and didn't take long at all. They turned out great! Then on April 13, Gini and Don Masterson came in to show us how to make jewellery that their daughter makes. What a fun meeting! On April 20, we met at the church to make leather beaded necklaces. They didn't take long and were easy to make! To finish a wonderful club, we had our last meeting. We decid- ed to go ahead and make tie-dye clothing. We brought shirts, socks, and anything else we had that was white. After 15 min- utes in the dye, they were done. I'm sure they all turned out great. Thank you for such a great meeting. Our achievement night will be May 9. a a
