Jane McKelvey also enjoys sewing and she has recently finished an apron and a blouse. Ann Evers has two new aprons she made without- help. Ann Prit-chard has been sewing for the kitchen, too aprons, pot holders, and dish towels. The same goes, for Sara Porrott. Another McKelvey girl, Joyce, makes blouses and her friend, Davis, brought a skirt she had made to 4-H meeting for us to see.

It certainly looked nice and is quite an accomplishment (all these sewing projects are) for such a little young lady. Sara Duck likes to make aprons, too.
