CNC Christmas Year Round – Sewing for OCC Boxes

We had lots of gorgeous material to use for our dresses.
Join us as we sew items for our Operation Christmas Child (OCC) boxes.
- Our current projects are: Cloth pads with bags, pillowcase dresses, small bags and dolls.
- We meet once a month at Cordova Neighborhood Church, 6:00pm. The dates are as follows: May 19 … June 29 … July 28 … August 25 … September 29 …. October 20.
- Have questions? Contact Lucy Baptista. Or leave a comment here.
Don’t sew? Don’t want to come out on a Friday night to put together these items?
- There is a way for you to be involved.
- We are collecting items for OCC boxes.
THANKS so much to those of you who donated during April.
During May we are collecting assorted items. Drop off at the Church.
- Marbles, jacks or Legos to fill the small bags we’ve sewed.
- Brightly coloured cotton material with matching bias tape. 2 yards of material is enough for one pillow case dress and matching doll.
- Shoe boxes: either empty card board shoe boxes or quality plastic boxes (the size of a shoe box).
Of course you can still drop off non-liquid personal care items: comb, hair brushes, toothbrush with holder, soap with holder, flash light with extra batteries, etc. NO TOOTHPASTE.
Our Facebook group address is as follows: https://www.facebook.com/groups/402694376774970/
