"The business supplemented our family's income and allowed me to work from home while my kids were growing up," explains Bail, 57. "I sold it because I was ready to have more time for my grandkids." When she sold, Waves of the West, the business was more than three decades old. And, the sponsor flags Bail and a small team of seamstresses handmade, were flown in rodeo arenas across the nation and at the National Finals Rodeo. Looking back on how her business got its start, Bail attributes her sewing skills and confidence to her years in 4-H. She got her start sewing as a 5-year-old, making clothes for her Barbie dolls. When she was old enough to join 4-H, her mom signed her up for Mrs. Mary Ellen Murphy's 4-H sewing club, Buttons and Bows. Murphy was an accomplished seamstress who Bail looked up to. "She was always dressed to the nines for a ranch woman - wearing wool suits with a hat and purse to match," Bail recalls. Under the watchful eye of Murphy, as an elementary student, Bail was soon making her own clothes. "I liked making clothes that didn't look homemade," Bail says. When her clothing was judged, the judges would often challenge her to try a new or more difficult skill for her next project. "I learned more from the white and red ribbons than I did from the blues and purples," she says. Later on in her 4-H career, when Mrs. Murphy was ready to retire as 4-H leader, Bail's mom, Arlene Wilkerson took over. "She spent many late night's before Dress Reviews supporting me," says Bail. In addition to sewing skills, Bail says outside of school, 4-H was one of the few social opportunities she had. Her dad worked for Custer State partnership of federal (USDA), state Park, so the family lived in the park, (Land Grant University), and county nearly 20 miles from town. resources through youth outreach "4-H got me out among people. activities of SDSU Extension. Youth I still have friends today that I met learn and experience Leadership, through 4-H," she says.
