Beerwah QCWA ladies had a lot of fun with their recent ‘blooming marvellous’ contribution; making a bunch of old fashioned ‘bloomers’ for council’s Bankfoot House education program. Debbie Ives from Beerwah QCWA said the ladies had been approached by Council to sew clothing for the ‘Cheerful Chores with Clementina’ program designed for students in Year 1 and 2 to learn more about pioneer life.
Debbie said the ladies sourced old sheets from local Op shops and had a lot of laughs making the bloomers.
“We were approached to sew old-fashioned garments, so that the clothing the children wash is more reminiscent with pioneer life. By giving the students the opportunity to wash clothes that looked similar to what Clementina wore assists their understanding both of her and the life she lived. We just had so much fun making them!” she said.
