Humanitarian Projects

We will be sewing flannel baby blankets for the Heritage Home which is part of City Team here in San Jose. 

The tote bags and baby items we collected at the stake level went to this organization  This is an organization that provides long-term help to homeless, poor, and abandoned women who are also pregnant and have no where else to turn but the streets. They are always in need of:

Donations:

• Newborn clothes ( 0-3 months for all seasons)

• Breast Pads

• Breast milk storage Bags

• Newborn diapers

• Advent bottles 4 oz with liners

• Bottle brushes

• Infant hats

• Infant socks

• Infant hand mittens

Canned Food Drive: 

We will be supporting our neighborhood friends again this year at St.Julie's Parish Food Pantry. We will be collecting donations of soups ( no cream of... varieties) and peanut butter. This will add to what we will be able to donate from the Bishop's Storehouse. 

Dry Erase Menu Board

Bring: 8x10 frame, or a collage frame, scrapbook paper (or you can use what we have)

Teacher: Ronda Michelsen

Time: 20 min

Cost: $1

Circle Skirt for girls

Bring: Sewing machine and tools (pins, needles, thread) if you have them, fabric, elastic.
Fabric and elastic suggestions: measurements go to this site
Teacher: Jessie Kilger
Time: 1 hour

Notes: For fabric, the amount needed depends on the size you want to make, and the width of the fabric. As a general rule, for 5T or smaller, if the fabric is 60" wide, you'll need one yard. If it is 45" wide, you''ll need 2.
If you're making a skirt for someone 6-16 girls size, you'll need 2 yards. If making it for an adult, you'll need 2-3 yards, depending on how long you want it. There's a bit of math involved in cutting out the skirts, but I'll discuss that in greater detail at the event.

You will also need elastic, about 1" longer than the waist measurement. 

Jessie will also bring her serger in case your sewing machine doesn't like to sew on knit fabric.
