Homemakers in Training – Making Aprons
After several years of dreaming about it, I finally got my act together and organized a girls club – similar to Keepers at Home. Serenity is 15 and I thought if I was ever going to do it, I needed to do it now.
Our purpose is to teach our daughters skills for their future homes and to encourage giving of themselves in service to others.
Yesterday was our first meeting and the girls all made aprons.
Audrey was so excited.
She picked out the fabric herself – little red ladybugs. ♥ I can honestly say she did at least 90% of the work on the apron.
The girls were at all different levels of sewing ability and it took all day but everyone was able to finish their apron (except for some small things).
Hannah, whose mom hosted and taught the first meeting, made little favor bags for all the girls. She sewed the bags and then filled them with dried apples that the family had picked.
She also made a little bookmark for the girls. So sweet of her. I love how she used scraps of fabric for the tie.
A delightful luncheon in the pines.
Busy girls
And all 9 girls modeling their beautiful aprons.
(Serenity wants me to be sure that everyone knows she is still working on hers. She’s going to be shortening the strap around the neck. 🙂

The aprons sure are pretty-almost as pretty as the girls. 🙂 I always enjoy reading your blog.

Aunt Carol, I didn’t know you read my blog!
Thank you for the compliment. Jody was a definite inspiration in me starting the girls group.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love these aprons and the fact that y’all made them. Confession: I haven’t owned an apron since I was 6. 🙂
