Reviving the trend is a great idea. I think I'll suggest this to the youth leadership in our church. We essentially have lost our youth due to a series of leadership changes, etc. and we need something to bring the young people back. This just might be it.

We are short on youth, but I love working with them and hope for more. Mostly we work on Challenges associated with the addictions program, but for a bit I was teaching the girls to use a sewing machine (and an iron!). We have sewn dresses for Easter Sunday and pillowcases for the Reformer's Unanimous residential program in Illinois. It's nice to get any group together that loves the Lord!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.com
