Sewing dresses size 2-10, open to all members and sewers in the community.

GFWC Fernandina Beach is excited to announce a new project.  We will be working with Nassau County School District, “Families In Transition” FIT.  These children are classified as “homeless.”  This project is titled “The Little Dress and Accessories.”

Our club is going to make “Little Dresses” from sizes 2 to 10.  You ask, “size 2?” There are students who are mothers registered in schools with very young children.  We will be providing under garments for both little boys and little girls.  The boys will be provided with shorts, t-shirts and socks, donated from YOU!

 At our October and November meetings we will need the following: material for dresses

(We have an easy pattern) at least 2 yards 100 % cotton; thread, ric/rac to decorate, binding tape and thin ribbon.  A sample dress will be on display at the October and November meetings.  You are asked to purchase any of the above items listed and take to the meetings.

 We will have a “Fun Sewing Together” gathering at the club house on Wednesday November 8th 10 am to 2 pm.  You will be able to sign up at October and November meetings.  You say, “I can’t sew,” but you can cut material, cut patterns.

Please, please if you have friends who are not members, but like to sew, please invite them to participate in this great project benefiting children in Nassau County.

 This will be a fun productive day, a lot of fellowship together and of course we will have great refreshments!

Thank You,
