Custom costumes for trekkers

At the beginning of the year our church's Yuma Stake youth (plus parents, etc) reenacted a portion of the Mormon Pioneer Trek. Using handcarts the participants traveled across the desert east of town.

It was decided that the participants should dress the part as much as possible. Our friends, the Workman family, would be participating. However, Janice didn't have time to sew the outfits for her daughter and husband. She asked if Georgia would help. Of course, she did.

In the space of about two weeks or so Georgia made one bonnet, two aprons, one dress, one skirt, three shirts, and a vest. Not only did she sew for the Workman family, but MaryBeth Monson needed one of the aprons, and Preston Joyner needed a couple of shirts.
