First Meeting of Needlecrafts for Charity!

I'm so excited to report that we had a wonderful time on Monday at our first Needlecrafts for Charity meeting at the University of Puget Sound.  We had to switch rooms a couple times at the last minute, so I believe we will need to send out some notifications before our next meeting.  The more the merrier!

There were seven ladies attending, including me.  We had a very successful planning period and then on to hand sewing demos (see below).  Kim, the club president, brought some hot pink leggings to show how easy they are to make.  We plan to have a leggings workshop in November to raise money for our "Days for Girls" sanitary pad kits.  After a young lady places an order for leggings, we plan to have an assembly line which will consist of cutters, seam sewers, and topstitchers. These young ladies are so creative with fund raising ideas! My best idea is a bake sale, but this isn't nearly as fun as sewing construction in the presence of the public :)
