Greetings - Sew We Work teaches disadvantaged persons how to sew - via zoom meetings. Currently I teach students whom I've been working with for almost a year. New Foundations and Project for Pride in Living partners with Sew We Work in order for their residents to learn a life-time skill, as well as the opportunity to earn money sewing their projects. We teach what the students want to learn - seams, zippers, pillows, bonnets, blankets. They have made masks, headbands, and bags.
The opportunity to volunteer is perfect for anyone who enjoys sewing, wants to help others learn, and doesn't mind chatting while sewing. A volunteer will need either a computer, laptop, tablet or phone that has a camera in order for student(s) to see the teacher and the student(s).
The sewing call is 2 hours per week, Tuesday mornings from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. No requirement to be there every week.
More opportunities with SEW WE WORK
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
To teach disadvantaged persons or persons who live in poverty how to sew and craft with the possibility of earning an income. SWW has partenered with PPL providing sewing classes to several of their residents. I've been sewing for over 60 years, taught by my mother. I have amassed lots of sewing machines as well as fabric and supplies. My passion is showing people how to sew and craft, watching them feel good about their accomplishments.
