We are a local group making, dresses and shorts for charity, meeting on the first Wednesday of every month in the home of the founder member. Our aim is to encourage and enable volunteers to join together to have a fun time, to chat, make new friends and share sewing skills whilst making clothes for children in areas of poverty where we have links, ie. orphanages in India, Africa and Cambodia. Many of these children have never received new clothes.
Inspired by and loosely based on “Dress a Girl Around the World”
We also make up bags from recycled clothes for The Wardrobe Foundation, who supply good quality second hand clothes to women’s refuges and other good causes. We have also made children’s eye patches for a project in The Gambia started by a local family, Cataract are Curable. We are presently making clothes and sanitary products to go out to Zambia and South Sudan.
