Old fabric gets new practical and fun life

We are grateful for the fabrics, beads, and other sewing supplies we receive through donations. Sometimes for us, it’s not apparent what we should do with it….we were faced with something similar but after looking at this grey fabric for months and months, it came to one of our helpers.

We led two projects over the course of several weeks to make Baby Bath Towels and with the remaining smaller bits, we make cute little matching Teddy Bears.

Using small bits of fabric and teaching a process

Sometimes we need to get creative with small pieces to make big surprises

Students deligently practice their sewing skills each week

These little baby outfits are from recycled bed sheets!

Another fun example of using small bits of fabric.

Old baby patterns get new life at the crafts center.

Bears assembled with hand and machine stitching….all recycled.

The ladies also make little gift bags for us to sell at the Good Shepherd shop.

As always, if you are interested in donating to our crafts center or wish to help led a sewing session, please let us know. You can contact karen_ellison@hotmail.com for an immediate response.
