100 Dolls for Children in Honduras

Congratulations to Jane (USA) who went to town making 100 dolls for her friends Rotary Club to take to Honduras in January.  These little cuties will be traveling along with a team of doctors and dentists who go out there once a year to treat children and adults and will be handed out to less fortunate children.  How fantastic!

"Thank you for the wonderful pattern."  Jane

And thank you Jane for all your hard work making them and big heart!!  They are adorable and I am sure will be well loved!!

Have you helped change a child's life by sending them a dolly, do let me know!

Hugs and Happy Sewing!

Dolls for Haiti: Teaching Teens to Sew

I received a wonderful e-mail from Dorothy (USA) who came up with a fabulous plan to teach teenagers how to sew for a good cause ….. a very good cause!

“A group of ladies got together today and we made dollies for the Haitian Orphanage our church supports AND taught 3 early teens how to sew! What a blessing your inspiration has been to so many!”

You can see from the photos how much fun everyone is having!

What a brilliant idea Dorothy and well done to everyone who took part!

I think this dolly might be saying "Hooray for Sewing!"

I am sure they will all be well loved with their new best friends in Haiti!

Thanks so much & Happy Sewing!
