Four years after disaster stroke Haiti, they are still among the poorest and neediest nations in the world. My favorite group, All Crafts For Charity, decided to devote a month of crafting to make much needed clothes. We made some pillowcase dresses and other Summer dresses for the little girls, and some shorts and tee-shirts for the boys.
This was great for me because their climate is similar to ours in South Florida. I am better acquainted with cotton and lightweight fabrics than with what is needed in cold climates. So, I put aside the knitting needles and got busy at the sewing machine. It reminded me of when my children were small, and I would make some of their clothes. As a matter of fact, the little airplane buttons were left over from when I made my son some overalls.
If you like to sew, knit, or crochet, there are plenty of opportunities to lend your skills and to help out these innocent kids. Reservations in the USA are also always in need of clothing. If you're not sure how to get started, feel free to contact me or leave a comment below.
With the proverbial strength in numbers, the group collected a lot of outfits for those poor children. Here's my modest contribution:
