You can help people in other countries by making sewing kits for them.
Sewing kits are used in vocational training programs to teach sewing skills so people can earn an income. They are distributed through Lutheran World Relief.
Include the following items in each sewing kit:
- Three yards of 44" or 45" cotton or cotton-blend fabric; four yards if 36" (no knits or 100% polyester)
- One package of about 10-15 needles for hand sewing (needles purchased in larger packages can be divided by inserting 12 needles into a swatch of felt or thick fabric)
- One spool of matching thread, 300 yards
- One card of 6 or more 1/2" to 5/8" matching buttons
Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed. All items should be new and in good condition. Wrap sewing notions inside fabric and tie with string, yarn, or strip of fabric. Do not enclose the kit or any of its contents in plastic bags.
Please review the General Assembly Instructions before collecting items for the sewing kits.Keys for Kids
