This month we are finalizing the sorting / sizing of hats & scarves for Jireh Sports, and the hats / scarves / mittens for Wheeler Mission. We have the gender / size list, so we will be requesting certain sizes to “fill in the gaps”. We will have the final list in the next couple of weeks. We can also share the ones everyone has made for new ideas (in case you’ve made the same hat 6 times, and want to try something new!)
Patterns will be available, and we will do demos. If there is a particular pattern you would like demo’d, or are wanting help, we will happy to do so! We can help with sewing, quilting, knitting or crochet.
If time allows, we will start on the Christmas stockings for the children at Wheeler Mission, and will have a pattern available if you want to get started on them. They will be smaller stockings, since all the children there are infant to toddler ages. The basic pattern will be using Christmas fabric and coordinating solids and prints; with contrasting cuffs, toes & heels, if desired; and crazy patch if there’s interest. We will only need 18-20. For this project, fabric ones will work best, and please pre-wash your fabrics in warm water, and dry your fabric in the dryer to preshrink it. We will be finishing the stockings in December.
We’ll meet from 9:30 to 2:00, please bring your lunch, and bring your projects to work on, including all your necessary materials, supplies and equipment! If you have something you especially want to work on this session, let us know, and we will help. Also if there is anything you are interested in learning, please let us know! Here are the Current Projects you can be actively working on!
