If you are interested in sewing dresses for Haiti, here are the updated details.
Linda Fox has organized an effort to make the pillowcases dresses available for the haitian refugees that are relocating into the Dominican Republic.
Families are adopting affected families into there homes. Adult sizes of clothes and shoes are flowing in, but where small children’s sizes change so quickly it’s harder to find relief clothing.
1. Copy the pattern, select a size and use your excess fabric and make a dress or two or three. Each one shouldn’t take more than a half an hour to make. Drop them at Quilter’s Haven in Bountiful located in the square at 2600. Just east of Highway 89 and 2600 S. They will be shipped every week until April 1st.
1(a). You can also mail the dresses to me and I will take them to Quilters Haven, please email me for my address.
2. Go to Quilter’s Haven and pick up a kit with the fabric & pattern starting January 31st. There will be a small deposit required to encourage the return of the kit or dress. Drop off instructions are the same.
3. If you don’t want to make a dress, you can make a pillowcase. It might be used as a baby blanket, but that’s o.k.
4. If your not a sewer but would like to help, come to Quilter’s Haven Thursday Jan. 28 or Friday January 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 pm. to cut fabric for the kits and put together the kits.
5. If you prefer to sew a different pattern or something for a boy perhaps please do so, we will send it.
If you want to contribute your extra fabric, trim or ribbon (we do need ribbon for the shoulder ties) to the effort, bring it to Quilter’s Haven and drop it in the basement in the classroom.
At Quilter’s Haven ask for Joni, tell her you want to participate in the Haitian Children’s clothing effort.
I'd like to help but am not in the USA. Is there any way I could still participate?
There are prob lots of craft/things online, but I think i could handle a few pillow case dresses...
Thanks,
Cristina
do you have a size chart that you would recommend to make certain sizes? - with chest size and lengths?
Thanks so much!
God bless
