We were thrilled to see the sewing center open and beginning operation. Five treadle sewing machines were purchased by donors in State College and at St. Paul's United Methodist Church. They were set up and being used when we arrived.
Aprons for the kitchen staff, uniforms for the farmers, dresses for the primary school dedication, skirts and shoulder bags. It was fully operational but needed the many supplies we were bringing. Two huge suitcases full.
Therese the sewing instructor and I are meeting for the first time. She was smiling as she received the many gifts of sewing supplies.
Women and men will come daily to sew as well as learn to sew. Orders are coming in, so many hands are needed.
