Last week the children dancing in our ballet folklorico received their first homework assignments, which were coloring sheets featuring a boy in the charro style sombrero and the elegant suit and boots, or a girl in the chinita skirt, white blouse and red-ribboned braids. They returned the sheets labeled with all of the costume details in English and Spanish. They will perform in this, the Guadalajara style vestuario.
Wal-Mart donated a $30 gift card from their Community Giving Program for sewing materials for the traditional dress. Some of our ESL lessons will be including sewing themes, as most of the mothers in our ESL class have children dancing.

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see pictures of the costumes! I don't know how to sew and am amazed by people that have the patience. I think sewing is really difficult.
ReplyDeleteThat was really nice of Walmart to donate money.
That is nice of Wal Mart, but is $30 enough? Does each girl wear a dress like that, or just one? Maybe you could post one (or more) of the coloring pages.
