We started making the patterns for the skirts on Monday during our CAS lesson - it was our first group meeting in the process and there were definitely more challenges than expected. One of these was the length of the skirts as we were unsure of whether they had to be a certain length (eg. below the knee) due to cultural reasons. Further, we were unsure of sizing of the skirts - particularly as the girls have HIV and are likely to be much thinner than kids of their age that we know. Currently, we're expecting to make three different sizes of skirts - 3yr old, 5yr old and 12yr old however we are expecting the measurements for the skirts to be more similar to that of a 1yr old, 3yr old and 9yr old here.
