January Meeting

The January meeting was the start of our new project!

We had 6 people and we made a lot of progress to get this project started.

We have some patterns cut out, bags being sewn and at least one completely done.  I know we are just starting, but this is such a fun project!  Every one who came had a great time.

We would love for you to join us!  Even if you can't sew, there are many other things you could do.  We need ladies to cut, iron and pin. 

Thank you for attending and working to share God's Love around the world.
This time in Mexico City!

If you would like to know more about our current project, please check out this post.

Here are a few ways that you could help the ministry:

* Pray.
For the project to go smoothly
and more importantly for those that will receive these bags in Mexico.

* Come Sew! Or cut. Or iron.

* Sew on your own.
I know that it can be hard to get to a meeting.
If you would like to sew on your own time please let me know.
I would be happy to get you a pattern and some fabric.

* Donate fabric.
We have fabric to get us started, but we could use some more.
For this project we are in need of heavier fabric.

* Donate cardboard.
Heavy (2-ply) cardboard is needed for the bottom of the bags.
It must be at least 12" x 8.5".

No longer needed.  Someone has generously donated
ALL the cardboard that we will need for this project (cut to size too!)
Praise God!

* Monetary donation.
We are currently operating on the generous donations of goods.
In the near future we may need to purchase some items for our ongoing use.
(Mainly looking to purchase labels to sew onto our items.
We have some, but are in need of more.)

Thank you for your support!
Without your generous donations, we would not be able to make these items.
Each item is a blessing to someone in need.

This is just some of the fabric that we have received!
