Tapa Cloths

This year Caritas is helping our Pacific neighbours.  In Tonga, assistance is given so groups can make tapa cloths.  These cloths are sold to tourists, used at weddings and funerals and worn as a dance costume.  Christine's mum showed us some designs used on the tapa cloth and Mrs Jackson used the power of Google to show us some other patterns.  We had a go had recreating some of these patterns.
