While I'm waiting for my "Chanel" jacket pattern to arrive, I've pulled out some muslin to make my "fitting" jacket.
Went to my ASG neighborhood group meeting on Tuesday. Our leader told us that the local children's shelter is in great need of PJs. So many of the children arrive with NOTHING but the clothes on their backs...so very sad. Such a heartbreak. Our group strives to meet as many of the local community "sewing" needs as we can.
I was away from home most of yesterday, so today I went stash diving for flannel to make PJ bottoms and some soft knit to make coordinating long sleeved T's. I found some plaid flannel that will work for little boys and some red that will work for either boys or girls. I got four pair of bottoms cut this afternoon and one pair sewn only awaiting the elastic at the waist. I got only one top cut from a fairly beefy cotton interlock. Hope to get the other 3 tops cut tomorrow.
Until later...............
What a great thing to do, making pajamas for those kids in need. I hope it means a lot to them that someone made the pajamas just for them.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is very nice. I just joined my ASG also, and I have heard they do a lot of community related work. :)
