New Friends


I have encouraged Claire to make new friends. This is a young girl from our ward that Claire invited to spend the night. They didn't plan to wear the same clothes, but when her friend got dressed the next morning, Claire realized that they had the exact same clothes. She ran to get her red jacket to complete the outfits.

One of Claire's favorite things to do is to sew at Grandma's house. So she brought her new friend over to her favorite place, Grandma's sewing room. They had a good time playing with all of Grandma's fun and expensive toys. They played with all the fancy stitches her machine could do.

The final product. They made new matching scripture bags, complete with their names embroidered on them. The girls sewed the fabrics together, and made the handles themselves. It was the first time Claire's friend had sat at a sewing machine, and she was a natural. She wants to come back now and make a quilt and use that big quilting machine in the room. They have rolled up placemats in their bags. They were using those as swords.
