Pillowcases for Charity: 4th graders + 5 quilters = 24

Fourth graders from Fruitport MI did with the help of 5 volunteers with sewing machines and pre-pinned fabric.

We each took one student at a time and mentored them on the basics of using a sewing machine:

 

and how to use an iron:

They were delighted to see what happens when you "birthed" a pillowcase:


Here they are.... all 24 of the students and their finished pillowcases
ready to give to a special organization.

It's never to late for you to do something special for charity. 


This is something you could do with your kids, grandkids or group in an afternoon.
