Back by popular demand, a sewing workshop for Haitian children will be held Wednesday, June 15 with two sessions: the first session from 1 to 4 p.m. and second session from 6 to 9 p.m. Select the one that will be best for you or attend both.

Pillowcases will be transformed into dresses and T-shirts into shorts. The new creations will be delivered to Haiti by a team of local volunteers and distributed in orphanages and tent cities in July. If you can sew, trace a pattern, iron or cut materials, you are welcomed. Men, women, and youth are invited to attend. Donations for supplies for the event are welcomed: 3/8-inch elastic, 1-inch elastic, 1/2-inch double fold bias tape (any color), trim for dresses, pillowcases.
