It's just the beginning...

I have a sincere desire to affect change in the world around me and the world at large. I also know that it is possible to change what the world sees as important; I believe change can happen and it starts by losing judgemental or preconceived ideas about people and their situations and focusing on SERVICE. I am starting a Non-Profit Company aimed at helping those in need, by providing items that can be sewn out of LOVE through the use of donated materials, fabrics & time. Items include blankets to be given out to shelters and the homeless, knitted hats, scarves and mittens for children and adults, bedding for area shelters and burial gowns to be donated to Children's Hospitals. I'm sure the list will lengthen, but these are the immediate needs I see and want to focus on. My aim is to harness the POWER of many who want to help, but are not sure where, how and who to help. I want men and women, children and teens, from expert sewers to beginners, anyone whose heart would like to make a difference is invited to help me move this cause forward!

So I know it's been a while since you've on here. I just found it today but I've been wanting a reason for a while to sew a dress. I have only boys but was taught several years back how to smock (a talent I thought I'd use with daughters~ha). Maybe I'll make the smallest, white, smocked bishop's style dress to donate for a burial gown...I'll have time on my hands this summer.
