Sew, You Say You Can Sew?

Here it is – the cut fabric for the next 50 Refresh Bags.  Now to sew the fabric into Refresh Bags.

I’m on the lookout for fellow seamstresses — if you have a sewing machine, an iron and can sew a straight line, you’re qualified!

You can try out just 5 bags.  All in all, you sew 5 lines to make one bag.  Sometimes you pivot (turn the fabric with the needle in the down position) or skip sewing a few inches as you’re sewing along.  And ironing a few times.  That’s really all the skills needed to make the bags, it’s not too hard and it goes quickly.

Let your kids help.  They’ll need to be supervised, a sewing machine and iron are serious tools.  Learning how to sew and iron is great skills.

Let me know if you’re interested in helping and are in the Delaware area.  If you’re outside of the Delaware area, let me know if you’re interested in making Refresh Bags for your local children in foster care.
