This week I made up a stack of bright and new cotton clothes for children in Uganda. I was at the library the other day when I saw a poster for Make a Difference as part of the Global Volunteer Network, which appealed to me- after all, I always have my machine set up and ready to go. After a few emails to Karen, she'd arranged for the unsewn garments plus instructions to be delivered to me, and they were very simple to put together.

If you'd be interested in doing a bit of sewing for Make a Difference, you can email Karen through her site here.

Wishing you a bright and cheerful weekend. We're planning a trip to a cousin's school fair, a walk on the beach, and some waffles for breakfast on Saturday. Nothing too taxing.

    That is wonderful melissa! Eloise did a sewing day for pippins for make a girl a dress I think. The Guides did the sewing and the pippins made little gifts to put in the pockets. Such a lovely thing to do.
