Sewing Sisters

If you walk into the fellowship hall of Pocket Presbyterian Church between eight and noon on any given Tuesday, you’ll discover a dedicated group of women who get together to sew every week. Using donated fabric, they sew garments for children in impoverished countries, who are more at risk for human trafficking than children with clothes. The women’s operation takes over the whole room, divided into multiple workstations: a few people cut out fabric, some surge the seams, some sew and a couple iron the pants, shirts and dresses before folding and packing them in a second-hand suitcase to be sent to children all over the world. The Sewing Sisters have sent approximately 25,000 items of clothing to children in need.
