Progress

We had our first meeting of October this week.  It was a lot of fun, we had 5 people attend and made great progress.  We are currently working on walker/wheelchair bags and neck pillows.  We have around 5 wheel chair bags and 7 neck pillows completed.

The patterns are simple and the fabric is abundant!

Here are a few pictures from our evening.

My 5 year old sewing a wheel chair bag!

He completed the ENTIRE bag during our meeting.

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 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. :)
