Two weeks before our 2014 launch!


Tension and excitement is growing! I cant believe its only two weeks before our 2014 launch!

 I just got some expert advice on ways to add pockets to the bags. I had no idea how to do it quickly without a lot of effort. I do now!!! Yea! So for all the ladies requesting pockets we will be working on putting pockets in some of the bags.

We have been sending request for help to companies for our 2014 project. Thank you to all who have responded for our October request! We got webbing, fabric, and zippers.
 We even got non sewing items like bottles of hand lotion and hair care products which we were able to use to raise funds.
 We pray we will get the needed supplies & willing workers.
The more volunteers to help us put things together the better, spread the word and have sewers and non-sewers contact us. We had two ladies with severe arthritis help us by just sorting the fabrics for us to use.
 Non sewers can tie on name tags, cut ribbon get strings off of finished bags…lots to do…all are welcome. Talking and spending time together is nice too. We have become Jessie’s sewing circle lol.

 Supplies we still need:

People to sew
2 Heavy duty Sewing Machines & cabinets
Sewing needles (heavy duty or jeans), Quilting pins (bigger pins are easier to work with)
Fabric/ fabric samples
Scissors, pinking sheers
Belt webbing or old material belts, rope, anything to use for handles, pocket book hardware
Batting
Buttons, Zippers
Thread - any color
Pink ribbon/ any color ribbon

 We will also accept any monetary donations you care to make.
