Polly Sews Clothes for Kalvin on His Arrival at Kowhai Corner


Polly was enjoying the afternoon reading her book when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.



The door opens and in rushes Flossie*  with some exciting news.


Flossie tells Polly that she has driven to Kowhai Corner in her truck with a naked passenger sitting on the back of the truck! The passenger is Kalvin, (A Groovy Girl Doll), who has come to live at Kowhai Corner in the Groovy Girls Centre.  Flossie adds that Kalvin has arrived wearing no clothes and has brought no clothes with him. 


Polly goes into the storage room to the wardrobe and brings out a knitted dress which she gives to Flossie and tells her it is for  Kalvin to put on. Polly tells Flossie she and her twin sister, Rie, will sew some clothes for Kalvin when he comes inside. Flossie goes back to the truck and convinces Kalvin to put the dress on and tells him Polly will make him some clothes to when he comes inside.


Kalvin puts the dress on reluctantly and climbs off the back of the truck feeling very embarrassed. He greets Polly and Rie who have already put the sewing machine and material on the table ready to start sewing him some clothes.


Polly cuts out and sews him some trousers and Rie  cuts out a t shirt for him. Kalvin puts his new trousers on and takes the dress off as he watches Polly sew his t shirt.


Polly finishes sewing his t shirt and Kalvin puts it on. Kalvin exclaims he had brought his book with him called, Officially the UK's Best Selling Football Annual 2017, which he has left in the truck. 


Kalvin runs outside to the truck to collect it and takes it to the room that has been given to him to use at Kowhai Corner Groovy Girl Centre.


Two weeks later… Kalvin is given another book, World Cup 2010 Superstars which tells about the football players, the teams and the facts. Kalvin is very happy.



*Flossie is a farm helper from Cracker Jim books by Jim Anderson. Polly and Rie are Pumpkin Patch dolls.
