Crafting for Charity: Sewing for Babies
This week’s crafting for charity focuses on the mission of a group from Kansas and mostly from Nebraska that sews for infants. Love seeing midwestern people!
The group, Sewing for Babies, makes garments and blankets for little ones – those who would otherwise go home with nothing, for tiny preemies that are hard to find garments for, and little outfits for infants who have passed on.
They meet in several locations to put together items for infants in the area. These are some of the agencies they work with to provide these items.
I can’t say it better than they do, so here’s some information from the group’s mission.
We receive telephone calls from social workers in agencies and hospitals telling us they have newborns go home with nothing more than a car seat and a diaper. Our volunteers make it possible for us to provide a layette to those families consisting of quilts and blankets, receiving blankets, crib sheets, sleepers, gowns, caps, booties, and bibs as well as diapers, pacifiers, lotions and ointments when we have them. Since every child needs a toy, we also like to include a small stuffed animal. All items provided to these families are completely free of charge.
What an awesome group!

feel free to leave a few words of your own...Melissa — Wed Nov 21, 2007 at 12:01 am (link)Way to make me mist up, talking about babies! *sob* I’d learn to sew just so I could make things for them.
