Sew for Others Day (Oct. 22, 2011)
I love to give back to the community through giving service. Sewing is a great avenue to give that service. Every year since I started JoLene’s Sewing School I have participated in Make A Difference Day. Which is held on the 4th Saturday of October and this year it falls on the 22nd of October. It is an all-encompassing national day of service dedicated to helping others – a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.
This year my students will be making stuffed animals to give to children in need on ‘Make A Difference’ Day. Action items to make this event a success:
- Sign up with me ASAP (I need a head count so I know how many to plan for)
- A donation of a yard of soft fabric, either Minkee or fleece or fur would be greatly appreciated, but not required. Please drop off the fabric prior to that date so I have time to cut out animal pieces and have them ready to sew
- Parent volunteers will be needed
- Bring your own sewing machine if you have one
- Event starts at 9am to goes to 3pm
- Come and sew one or two animals for the needy
- Parents or grandparents are invited to participate and sew
