Help Wanted!

DAYS FOR GIRLS INTERNATIONAL

Want to help our Eugene/Springfield team?  

ANYTHING you do brings us closer to 

Every Girl.  Everywhere.  Period.

WORK:

Come to one or more of our workdays at Our Sewing Room and learn all the different sewing and non-sewing tasks that go into making a complete kit.
Then continue to work with us each month, and/or pick your favorite task and work on that at home.

PURCHASE:

Would you like to contribute some of the items we need for our kits?  Here's a list of what purchased items we need, in order of current need:

• Top-quality flannel fabric, in darker, busy stain-hiding prints [Botanicals and geometrics are best.  Because of cultural considerations, please avoid prints with animals (including insects and reptiles), people, camouflage, weapons, religious symbols, and anything culturally specific].
• Cotton or cotton-blend underpants, girls' sizes 10-16 (briefs or hipsters, no "boy shorts" or bikini)
• Washcloths, in colors (no white)
• Twill tape, 1/2" --5/8" is best. If you can find colors, that's wonderful, but not essential.  We use 2 yards per bag.  White shows soil, so darker is better.
• New spools of polyester thread, for regular sewing machines and sergers, any medium to dark color
• Ziploc brand gallon-size freezer bags (not the slider style)
• Hotel travel-size soap, environmentally friendly, if possible.
• Good quality quilting-weight cotton fabric, in medium to dark stain-hiding prints [Botanicals and geometrics are best.  Because of cultural considerations, please avoid prints with animals (including insects and reptiles), people, camouflage, weapons, religious symbols, and anything culturally specific]
