Sewers Needed!

by erika on February 05, 2010

Sew on Fire is a local ministry with international reach. They ship clothing, baby layettes, toiletries, toys, school supplies, blankets and more to the poor, orphaned and homeless world wide.

Most of the supplies are packaged in drawstring bags which can be used as a backpack or tote once it is emptied. These bags are made by volunteer sewers across Canada. Sewers also make skirts, blankets and more.

Right now there is a special need for people to help sew sleeper pants for infants, size 12 and 18 months. Sew On Fire is preparing several skids of clothing to ship to the mountains in Hungary for the beginning of their winter season (which starts as our summer begins). They received a large donation of long sleeved shirts for babies, but need pants to go with them.

If you are able to help by sewing in your home, Sew On Fire will provide the fabric and instructions for making these simple garments. Your donation of time will make a huge difference in many babies' lives a few months down the road.

Please visit their website for a complete list of items needed for aid around the world, and to view a map of places that have been blessed by this ministry.
