Sewing Lessons

This afternoon we went to the Christ for the City sewing class at the community center. This is a partnership with World Vision, which provides the instructor. We provide the place and the sewing machines. Today they learned how to make a back pocket for man's trousers. The instructor is the lady in the blue blouse. The class runs from 2:00 to 5:00. They have a coffee break, and the Christ for the City staff brings a short devotional. These are some of the ladies who always come to our events. As you can see, these classes are also on the porch because it is very hot inside the house.

I had the opportunity to use my very limited knowledge of sewing machines. They had one machine that was not working. I was able to "fix it" because the only problem was that the bobbin was upside down! Now there is another machine that I could not figure out because it is not a Singer, but a White. Does anybody know how to rewind the bobbin in a White sewing machine, model # 960?

The two staff ladies for Chris for the City usually spend the night in the center on Tuesdays because they have Kids' Clubs on Wednesdays. Today they came over to our place. I know one of the girls loves tacos, so that's what we had for dinner. They want tacos again for lunch tomorrow. We will probably have a late breakfast and go to the beach before lunch.

That's all, folks! Until next time, from the beach...
