After putting it off for as long as I felt I possibly could, I finally taught our sewing women to put in zippers last Friday. They did amazingly well with their little zippered bags!
I kept thinking throughout the day that someone somewhere was praying for me to have an extra measure of patience. So if you were the pray-er, thanks I needed that! What a great experience it was for all of us.
For me, returning to the States means many speaking engagements and also collecting the fabric and supplies for our women’s sewing initiative.
My mom was my shopping buddy this past weekend as we bought over 1000 yards of fabric at JoAnne Fabrics’ Labor Day sale. We saved $2500 USD! Yeah for sales!
The village women in our sewing initiative will turn this fabric into tote bags, sling bags, wallets, aprons, and headbands. They will use the tiny scraps to crochet into rugs. And with the money they earn, the women will feed and clothe their families.
