Come change the life of a young girl. We will be making pillowcase dresses to donate to Samaritan's Purse.  Our store will furnish all of the fabrics needed to make the dresses.  You will donate your time. All you need to bring is your regular sewing machine, scissors, pins, and a spool of thread.  We will supply everything else.  We will have sergers set up to use as well.  All dresses made at this class will become the property of  Samaritan's Purse missionary project and will be collected at the end of class. It is reported that girls wearing a new little dress are much less likely to be abducted, abused or molested because the new little dress shows that someone cares about them.  This class runs all the time. You can make dresses at home and donate them as well.  Our mission is to support Samaritan's Purse year around.  Call the store to add a class with your friends.
