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)

Belt webbing or old
material belts, rope, anything to use for handles, pocket book hardware
