UNOFFICIAL ACTIVITIES:

Baby Shower!

For those of you that made it to the baby shower should tell us how it went! I was out of town and so sad that I missed it, but I hear it was lots of fun! The food looks good too!

A VERY special thanks to Sarah Roberts for putting it all together and for Breeana Shill for making the cute decorations! And thanks to all who came and supported the activity and all the pregnant girls due soon in our Relief Society. We can't wait to see all you pregnant girls become mothers and to see all the cute babies!

Pillowcases!

Sarah, Liz, and Kristen all set up and ready to go!

Kristen did an amazing job teaching us how to make these cute pillowcases. Thank you so much!

It really was so simple. This was one of the first times Liz had sewn and she picked it up really fast. :)

Breeana making her pillowcase for her little sister.

Noelle and Emrie. She made her pillowcase for Emrie's bed.

Sarah holding her cute finished product... for her sister that is going on a mission. The fabric is a missionary stick figure that says, "I hope they call me on a mission" so cute!

Thanks to Cara for the extra help and a working sewing machine!

It was such a fun activity. We all wanted to do more!

Here is a really similar tutorial I found online:

(just in case some of you have a machine at home or want to make it again later)

Sewing Class!

Don't forget to come to the Sewing Class!

It will be so much fun.

Kristen Gedeborg will be teaching us how to make a pillowcase.

All you need to bring is your own fabric.

She said to buy 100% cotton fabric. 2 different patterns. Wash and iron your fabric before you come just in case of shrinking and so it will look pretty when we are finished tomorrow.

Measurements for the fabric:

3/4 of a yard for your first pattern (or main body of the pillowcase)

1/2 of a yard for the second pattern (or the hem of the pillowcase)

She also suggested adding an 1/8 of a yard to each pattern if you buy from Walmart. Their fabric seems to shrink a lot when you wash it.

Can't wait to see you there and to see our finished projects!

This pic was taken last minute... after some people left! It was at our get-to-know-you-better breakfast social. That's why we are all still in our P.J.'s :)

It would be a long list to name off every girl in the picture... sorry!
This was our most recent activity called "Spouse Appreciation Night". It was so fun! We all got cozy and gathered around the little tables to decorate our jars for our husbands. They all turned out so cute! I think everyone was pleased and happy that they came.

I know everyone is sick of seeing my jar... I wish I would've taken pics of the other jars. They are much cuter than mine. But you get the idea :) If you still want to make one contact Cara. We have some leftovers and its not too late! Valentine's Day is still a couple weeks away. We filled them with the packet that the Bishop handed out in his marriage class this past Sunday. It is a list of ideas of how to spoil your spouse. Pretty cute.

We have such a fun ward and a fantastic group of women! Thanks for all the support on our activities last semester and this semester. We love having so many of you coming to enjoy one another's company.

Love, The Relief Society Activities Committee
