Yesterday we got ready to make bags and dolls. We cut out cloth doll patterns from the fabric we had around. Then the younger kids would hand stitch around the pattern and leave a hole to stuff them. They then got really creative and drew faces on the dolls with marker and used yarn to make hair. Once the more experience kids had finished their dolls they went on to making adorable clothes for them. While the children were working the parents and more experienced sewers made bags. They sewed strips together, sewed on a back, put in a lining, and did finishing stitches around the top. The bags take a while to make so most of the people hadn’t finished them by the time we had to pack up. After sewing we went for a long walk around the nearby villages and saw some beautiful views of the mountains. So far we have had beautiful days even though we are in the middle of the rainy season!
