Ready to Sew

I was fortunate enough to spend last evening with Grace. I brought 101 Dalmations and we watched. Any time Grace heard the dogs bark she opened her eyes wide and seemed to take it all in.
I have known for a while that special clothing would be a need that I could help fulfill. I looked over the weekend at different fabrics and I have a plan. If anyone reading has done sewing and has notions lying around for "future" projects that have gone by the wayside, maybe you would be happy to contribute them to me. Buttons, lace, trims, etc., can get quite costly. Maybe you can not sew, but would love make a contribution. I would be happy to buy material and make something sweet for Grace in your name. That would be a blessing.
Many of you know that my Dad was recently in the hospital. When ever we bring him dinner or drop something off that he needs, he trys to give us money. Saturday I told him I would take the money this time and I would use it to buy Material to make clothes for Grace. He was thrilled and said "Do you want some more?". I told him I would let him know.
If you do Sew and want to help, let me know. Grace is scheduled to come home in a few weeks and we need to be ready.
Thanks for reading.

Hey Girlfriend! My mom and I both have lots of fabrics...do you have preferences? Calicos, stretchy cotton knits, ??? Let me know...we will start collecting and perhaps by weekend can have quite a selection for you to work with...also have some trims and half packages where all was not used on a project,etc. and tons of buttons...love the way you think!!! I will talk to my mom and see what part she would like to play in this project...maybe she would cut out, or pin patterns on or such...will let you know! God is using you in such a mighty way for such a mighty cause...there will be a day Grace knows without a doubt she is loved by so many...and is able to tell us her side of this story...love you!
