Thank you Gudrun, Beattie and Masterclock for all your great ideas and suggestions. As it turned out, we were asked not to have participants do any sewing – only to give a demo on how to make. We did have a couple of young moms adding if we gave sewing lessons! Not yet….
We also had 100 pre made bags to give out.
The festival was to run from 5-10pm. By 7:30 all 100 bags were gone, plus the dozen or so I was able to finish between questions and conversations.
Added 16 people to our mailing list – many wanting to donate fabric and/or thread, help with sewing, etc. Received $37 in cash donations.
On our to do list:
1. Make a Facebook Page for our group
2. Find a central drop off location for fabric and thread
3. Find a large venue for our next group sewing session
4. Find a location/date for our next bag distribution. Hoping to find a store where they’ll let us just hand out the free bags to people walking by! These festivals are exhausting – but fun!
5. Send out the first (of hopefully many) newsletters to those who wants to join our cause.
6. Sleep 😉
