If you haven't stopped in to a meeting yet, you really should! They are so much fun! It is so good to fellowship with others (and to work on a project together!)
Last night we had 7 ladies, 3 of which were new! Thank you for joining us! We were able to finish 8 dolls and have a lot more ready to finish. There are many stages and I think we have dolls in all of them right now!!
If you can't sew, or can't transport your machine- do not fret! There are enough things for you to do. We had ladies cutting out pattern pieces, or stuffing little arms and legs. You could even just cheer us on!
We have a lot more dolls to finish, so would you please consider helping?! If you can't make the meetings, maybe you would be willing to work on some dolls on your own time. Please contact Carey (carey_fritz@yahoo.com) if you are interested in doing this. She has the patterns and can give you some direction!
Here are some photos from our time together!
Below is a doll that my daughter (she's almost 7 years old) made, from cutting to sewing, she did most of the work!
These ladies were having a sew-off! Both finishing dolls at the same time. It is such a joy when you finally complete a doll! There was definitely some cheering going on!
Below is the lineup of the completed dolls (the 2 on the right will have faces embroidered soon.)
Shoe box full of dolls!
Please help us meet our goal of having a doll to put in each box turned in at HZUMC! Don't you think these dolls will put a HUGE smile on a child's face. I can just picture them loving these dolls so much.
Next meeting is October 21, 6:00pm-8:30pm.
I am considering adding a few more sewing nights, so stay tuned for updates.
