On Monday, we had a sewing 'exposition'. Basically we decorated the community center with all the things the sewing class has made in the last four month. We laid plastic chairs down on the floor to form 'beds' to put our bedspreads on, and hung curtains behind the beds to try to make it look like they were in bedrooms. We hung bags on the back of chairs, to make it look like we'd left them there when we got home.
Unfortunately it rained on Monday, so hardly anyone came (except a bunch of kids who realized we had a snack). The participants seemed disappointed that hardly any adults came, but were pretty excited to get their pictures taken with what they had sewn:
Here, Melvin poses with his 'bedroom'. He officially joined sewing class about a month ago and scrambled to get 4 months worth of class projects done in time for the exposition:
Below, Vianelli poses by her 'bed' and a curtain made by Maribel:
Although attendance was super disappointing for our exposition, knowing we were going to have one was really motivating for the ladies. I announced we'd have the exposition about 10 days ahead of time and the women flooded by site daily to finish up their projects on time. A few that had gotten behind were able to catch up with all the class projects in time to show them at the exposition.

How neat! I love that you have a boy in your class! And is it like when we were in Mexico that no one goes anywhere if it rains? Silly people.
It is exactly like Mexico in that sense! You are right! It continues to drive me a little nutty.
