Currently on the sewing machine...

The latest project for the Daughters of Dorcas is wheel chair/walker bags and neck pillows for Evergreen Health and Rehabilitation Center in Harmony.  You can read about the facility here.

We were not given a set number that we need to make, but we do have the next few months to sew them, so I am hoping that we will get a lot done!  

We started on them at last September meeting.  I had a pillow and a bag done as a sample.  During the evening we finished 2 more bags and 2 more pillows!  They are a quick, easy sew.  I found the patterns for free on Pinterest.

This is the pillow pattern  -->  pillow pattern

This is the bag pattern.  I did modify it a little to add an outside pocket  -->  wheel chair bag pattern

If you like to sew, please consider joining us!  It's a fun evening and you get to sew. :)

Here are some pictures of the items we have finished so far.







Next Meeting is October 6 at 6:00pm.

3rd Project Complete!!

3rd Project Complete

Our third project is done already!  We were asked to make welcome bags for the women's ministry at HZ (W.IN.G.S. - Women IN God's Service).  We were happy to oblige!!  We used fabric from the stash of wonderful donations that we have received.

We completed 55 bags!!

Each woman attending the retreat in September received a bag.  The bags were filled with goodies- pen, journal, water, candy, etc!

Here are a few pictures showing the finished bags.
