Today I am joining in with a group of ladies from the village to do a good deed.
Every year the ladies cut out and stitch up sanitary pads for girls/women in third world countries, and poorer nations.
It is an all day affair by the sound of it.
And today I am going to do it for the first time.
So I need to pack up my sewing machine, get bits 'n' bobs like threads, scissors etc and take it all down to the craft room by 9 am.
Oh and I better not forget my Diet Coke and lunch.
I am hoping its a nice experience, and a chance to get to know more people from here.
I will try to pop back in here a few times during the day to give you all an update.
Quickly... cos I'm standing in the rain to get internet access... having a nice time. Getting heaps done. About 3 hours to go.
That is a nice thing to do. I often wonder how women got by before sanitary napkins. The hassle of it all is what I am talking about. We rip open a box and there one was. I hope you enjoy your day! Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteLovely of you to volunteer. I don’t do any voluntary work, I’ve been a blood donor for 50 years, that’s all. And not being able to sew a hem, I couldn’t do what you’re doing! Marie, Melbourne
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, and what a neat way to meet new people all with a common cause today - Margaret
ReplyDeleteAwesome. What a wonderful thing for the ladies to do. Have fun. Kj
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! My friend has been sewing her own for years. This is such a cool idea.
ReplyDeleteOh god! that bought a memory of days gone by come flooding back. Wad of old pj sleeves to catch the flow..then the stupid elastic and pins...the 'olden' days.
ReplyDeleteGirls think they got it tough.
Omg I'm so pleased you're having a good time! Yay... that's so cool. That's what you want in a village 💚🩷
ReplyDeleteHow cool what a great thing that is we have sun but rain is coming for sure.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.
You may need a trolley on wheels (cart) for your sewing gears.
I remember the toweling strips hanging on the neighbours clothesline after washing. Kj
