Recap Open House April 8

We had a great Open House seeing over the top cute things for our kids and sharing ideas for making scarves.  I apologize for the delay in this recap, but the following week was a busy one with sewing at the Beatitudes Care Facility with the lovely ladies there, the Wells Fargo Chandler Connection Fair on Thursday and our pillowcase event at 35th Ave Sew and Vac on Saturday.  We had fun and welcomed 11 new volunteers.  If you have a volunteer fair at your workplace and would like to include Stitches of Love, just let me know.

Inventory–Mary is working on the April numbers but I can tell you we need tops sizes 5-14.  All styles/colors, but plain colors would be great to match all the colorful skirts we have created.  Skirts are needed in size 14 and 16 and dresses in 1/2 sizes and size 10.  If you are making boy’s shirts (of which we are doing AWESOME), we need sizes 6,7,8 and 10.  In the accessories, we need hair items, jewelry, skinny scarves and pillowcases. Many, many thanks to 35th Ave and their customers for the 100 created on Saturday.  Please remember our guidelines of using like fabric, no top stitching unless decorative all around the cuff and all seams finished either via serger or French seams. If you wash them, please iron them as we want them to look nice.  5,471 kids have been invited thru the schools, we have 4,200 kids registered with more expected this week, so please continue to sew, craft, knit and crochet!
