A FABRIC SALE!

DONATIONS FOR OUR KITS

Our volunteers and many who support our mission have donated beautiful cotton and cotton flannels that work well for our kits.  Seriously, you folks are incredible, and other chapters are envious of our fabric donation wealth.

For Days for Girls kits, there are many restrictions in what fabrics we can use.  Because it's so important for the components to camouflage stains as they're hung out to dry (often publicly)  our main focus is on busy medium-dark to darker fabric prints.

Because of cultural considerations, we need to avoid prints depicting weapons, people/animals with faces, insects (butterflies are usually fine), camouflage, religion, words, holiday, patriotic.  Food prints can be difficult for somebody who is food insecure, so we typically don't use those. 

We also avoid solids, glittery/metallic fabrics and bed sheets.

FABRIC SALE OPPORTUNITY

On August 10, Our Sewing Room is having a fabric sale--various people have rented tables at which to sell fabric they no longer want.  I put our name on the waiting list, and yesterday learned that we will have a table!

So, my request of you is to contribute fabric--any and all fabric you'd like to have out of your life.  Probably cottons will sell best because most of the folks are mainly quilters, but really anything goes.   Please use a bit of masking tape or a small label to mark yardage on each piece of fabric.  (If somebody donates some that's perfect for DFG, I'll pull that for us.)  

This is a wonderful way for your other fabric to benefit our chapter.  Also please consider sewing-related items--things that should appeal to other sewers. 

Please bring anything you can donate to our July 6 or August 3 workday.

And . . . come and shop on August 10!
