We have had requests from several agencies in the area to do some sewing for people in need.  A decision was made to make pajama pants for a local agency that houses children that have been removed from their homes.

Sandy and I have donated some flannel to the cause.  It has been prewashed, and we ask that you do the same if you are bring in fabric.  Any donations are appreciated.  The agency has also asked for pillowcases, too, if possible.  We will have patterns here to use, and if you have a suitable pattern, we ask that you bring it.

Once we get all the fabric cut, we can sew it here ( I will set another time to sew for this cause), or, you can take it home with you and return it when you are finished.

This will be an ongoing project, as there is so much need throughout the area from different agencies.
