We did it!

I can't believe how much we got done! We had several experienced sewers, and one newbie...and even a few young women. With 4 sewing machines, 3 irons, lots of fabric and cloth diapers...and look what we accomplished.

We want to send a BIG thank you out to all those who donated the needed items. We are still in need of ribbon of various colors...gross grain is best. We still have some diapers (if anyone else has more to donate we would love to have them) and we have lots of material so we will definitely be doing this again. If you couldn't come this time you'll still get another chance.

We also want to thank all those who came out...in that huge downpour...to lend a hand and hang out with us.

We hope some more of you will be able to come next time.

New Humanitarian Project

Here's our next humanitarian project. Baby burp cloths made by embellishing cloth diapers. They are super obsorbent and now super cute. They can also be used as a changing pad.

We will need donations for this project. Any one who can donate ribbon, rick rack, fabric, and perhaps most imprtantly cloth diapers...please bring them to the RS room over the next few weeks.

This easy sew project will be a great chance for those of us with some sewing experience ( even if small ) to teach the skill to some of the sewing newbies. So if you've never sewn on a machine before and would like to learn how...here's your chance. And if you already know how to sew a straight line then we need you to help one of the newbies along.

We hope to see you all there! There will also be a spot for any who want to continue working on our other humanitarian projects already underway.
