The last time we put out the call for volunteer help, you answered!
We provided kits and open sewing days for volunteers to create fleece hats for the community. You created over 1700 Fleece Hats in just under 2 weeks! Thank you so much to all who helped with this community project. Special thank you to Volunteer KC for your partnership and lead in the initiative.
Want to know what our next community project will be?!
The Sewing Labs is excited to announce that our next service project is called, Quilt of Many Colors!! We have kits with fabric scraps for you to sew into quilt blocks starting Tuesday Jan. 16, 2024. You can use your own scraps. Your quilt blocks will be transformed into a multitude of lap quilts, which will be distributed among our low-income nursing home community. Your contribution will bring warmth, comfort, and a sense of community to those who need it the most.
By using these fabric scraps, we contribute to a greener environment, ensuring they don’t end up in a landfill. Here at The Sewing Labs, we always do what we can to promote recycling and sustainability. As our Cofounder, Lonnie Vanderslice, once said, “There are no throwaways”.
