Community Service Sewing
Each year our chapter members share their creativity with the community.
We're gearing up for more charitable sewing and we hope that our members will keep alert to needs, especially for use in our community.
Past projects have included customized sheets, pillowcases, and toiletry bags for homeless women, padded hangers for the CSU Avenir Museum, book caddies for school children, Choose to Reuse bags for the City of Fort Collins, carry bags for the Days for Girls charity, and the prep and construction of 45 hanging bags for walkers for local seniors.
As Seen in Our Chapter Meeting
December’s presentation to the Chapter was given by Cheryl Evans, owner of The Black Sheep Wool Shop in Windsor. She displayed all of her beautiful wool crafts and kits available at her store, spoke to us about the wool craft market and history, and gave us a tutorial on how to make adorable wool scissor pouches. Thank you Cheryl.
