It's that time of the year, time for back to school, and time to say goodbye to summer and welcome the new Fall season. I'm lucky as this month as I get to write about my all time favorite hobby and favorite pastime which is: sewing. With that mentioned, I am excited about September being the National Sewing month and wanted to inform you of a easy project that has much impact and significance on those that are deployed and serving abroad. Let me introduce to you Soldier's Angels Sewing team and their project: Patriot Pillowcases. Patriot Pillowcases was envisioned by a 16 year old Soldiers Angels volunteer who saw the need of bringing some "cheer" to wounded soldiers that were recovering while admitted at combat support hospitals in Afghanistan. Essentially the project is making fun and cheerful pillowcases. From pizza to Batman your creativity is the limit and these pillowcases do the trick of bringing cheer to wounded soldiers. So, join in on the fun and dust off that sewing machine and sew up some comfort for the troops!
Stay tuned, in the days to come I'll be informing you of the many creative sewing projects that are available with this Team. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to email Ms. Dee Jerge VP of the Sewing Team at: blanketsofhope@soldiersangels.org
