No-Sew Extender Slip Tutorial

Summer is almost here and unfortunately that means most stores are selling shorter skirts and dresses. To keep those almost-too-short skirts modest, you can add a slip extender!

Here is an easy No-Sew Extender Slip tutorial that we shared in our May 2014 issue. A BIG thanks to Jenny from Plane Pretty for letting us share this simple and easy project with you!

Choice & Accountability Value Projects

In our May 2014 Issue we focused on the value of Choice & Accountability.
Today I wanted to post some of the Value Projects that we shared in the magazine!


Sew your own prom dress or temple dress.

Start a book club with your friends that focuses on reading uplifting and appropriate books.

Organize a For the Strength of Youth Discussion Night with all of the youth in your ward.

Read The Book of Mormon and take notes of what is taught about Choice & Accountability or those who are examples of making good choices.

Create a work of art that shows how you feel about the value of Choice & Accountability.

Read The Miracle of Forgiveness by Spencer W. Kimball and share your impressions with a parent or leader.

Organize and present a modesty fashion show with your Young Women's group.

Go through your closet or music library and evaluate items based on gospel standards found in For the Strength of Youth. Get rid of anything that is inappropriate.

Create a "Sunday Box" filled with appropriate family activities to do on the Sabbath. Use it each week!
