Our sewing class has great news. An area church is partnering with us to promote and sell our handiwork! They will also be teaching economics as well as offering micro-loans so the ladies can buy their own machines and supplies. Wow!
We had a lot of fun today. Almost everyone completed the current projects: a doll blanket, a fabric tote bag, and a quilt.
I brought tea, milk, and sugar so we could take refreshment now and then.
Our class garners a LOT of interest. Passers-by love to peek in to see what we're doing. We already have a new group of ladies eager to take the beginner class in January. Today, several men popped in. We learned that in Nepal, the MEN had sewing jobs -- making saris and other clothing on foot-pedal machines.
We're getting low on fabric but I found a store that sells it for $1 a yard. We're also using recycled cotton clothing for our projects.
I get to work with the loveliest ladies! What joy I feel every Monday morning when it's time for sewing class. Thank you for praying for these precious women.
