Clothing for Trek

Sister Rodgers has been kind enough to put together some resources to help your youth compile the clothing they will need for trek:

The Clothing Committee will be available to help you if you want or need help sewing pioneer clothes. It would probably be best to contact them after the Cultural Celebration for the Idaho Falls Temple as they are busy sewing for that. We will not have an activity to sew the pioneer clothes or haversack/possibles bag. We will have an activity on June 13th to sew the neck coolers and make the seats for our buckets.

Please contact the following ladies for individual help with sewing:
Donna Rogers
Barbara Cook
Carol Mahar
Deanna Judy

Here are some websites to purchase your youths clothing for trek.
If you want to sew your own I found some patterns suggested in the site.   It would be great for the parent or youth sewers to share the patterns with each other as they are quite spendy.    I can help duplicate the patterns if necessary or provide the basic pattern for the skirt, bloomers and bonnet.   I did find that some of the links in these sites are not available.   Also note the need to spray all clothing with tick repellent Permethrin before packing and completely dry them before packing.  Each youth will also need a sturdy bag or haversack to carry  their journal, lip balm etc.
We would like to know who may have sewing machines that could be brought to a YM/YW activity where we will have the youth help with their own neck cooler. If so you may contact myself:   donnadrodgers@centurylink.net  or Robyn.
Please feel free to contact me with anything concerning the clothing.
ONWARDS PIONEERS!
Sister Donna Rodgers
