American Sewing Guild, Lansing Chapter: Lansing Clippers

We use our sewing and needle art talents to help our community.

In June, we turned in 150 completed bags to Helping Women Period.  Since then, we completed another 227 bags.  We will continue to make more bags as part of our 2019 community service project.  Please continue to sew the bags and give them to Judy H. at each monthly meeting. 

Let's keep making the bags and see how many we can complete before the October guild meeting!  That will be the end of this community service project and we will begin another one.

Saturday, October 5 we will have a sew-in to sew more bags for this project.  Please join us from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at St. David's Episcopal Chuch, 1519 Elmwood Rd., Lansing.  Just bring a sewing machine, thread, and scissors.  We will provide the fabric and lunch (pizza).  We could use more ribbons, so if you have some to donate, please bring them with you.

2019 COMMUNITY SERVICE

SEW TO HELP OTHERS!

This year's project will be sewing drawstring bags for the nonprofit group, Helping Women Period.  The group  provides feminine hygiene products for homeless and low-income women in our area.  

You can make these anytime and bring them to any meeting.  Judy Huhn will collect the bags and be the contact person for this project.   

Instructions to make the bags will be available at each monthly meeting.  The website, www.helpingwomenperiod.org, also has a link with information on how to make the bags.  We are making the medium and large size with two-way drawstrings.  There is also a small zipper bag and a one-way drawsting bag that can be made.
