Powwow

K really enjoys the local history festival and dances almost every year in the powwow. The head lady is a friend of ours and K really enjoys spending time at the event. Last year she asked to have a shawl like the other ladies have. At a gathering or powwow girls and women often carry either a folded shawl over one arm or they wear it around their shoulders. K picked the colors she wanted. I hand sewed the whole shawl including adding each tiny string fringe at the bottom! She loved it. Next year though I am thinking I will downsize the overall size so she doesn't have so much material to work with while dancing but this year it was sooo cold for May that it worked out well.
