I've been waiting for this day since spring. The 45 yards of natural wool has been stored way ready to be transformed into color and Sunday was the day. We created a day dying a sewing. Judy Christoffersen with her sisters Mary Beth and Becky where on hand help with the process plus teach sewing. Becky has taught sewing to Junior high kids for years. We brought the sewing machine they donated and Jennifer Phillips, Mujeres en Cambio president, translated the first sewing lessons. The general opinion was they are natural seamstresses. We are now looking for more machines so they can make bags and pillows to attach their rugs to. We are on the trail of products that can be repeated and placed in catalogues and on etsy. And now we are well on the way. These photos will say it all. Everyone had so much fun and the out come was excellent. The kids were helping and the enthusiastism was contagious.. Check out the photos.
Here are the sewing lessons.
