SEWING FABRIC

Additional fabric for the recipients of sewing kits provides fabric for extra sewing practice, to make clothing for themselves, or clothing to sell.

Your group can also help LWR get sewing fabric to the people who need them by donating a brick on the Good Samaritan Quilt Plaza or by making a contribution to the Project Comfort Fund.

Review the General Assembly Instructions before collecting sewing fabric.

Please follow these guidelines:

• Cotton or cotton-blend fabric (no knits or 100% polyester); fabric should have no stains or holes and be cut into a piece measuring:
• 2 ¼ yards of 60" wide fabric, or
• 3 yards of 44" wide fabric, or
• 4 yards of 36" wide fabric
• Fold each piece separately when packing

Project Comfort Fund Note: LWR's approximate cost to handle and ship a 5-pound carton of sewing fabric overseas is $3.20
