HELP SEW CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS FOR OUR DEPLOYED TROOPS
Our 2018 Charity Sew Along is making stockings for our deployed military troops who will not be home to share the holidays with family and friends. Blue Star Mothers will be arranging donations to fill them.
The PDF below contains a simple, easy Pattern and Directions. You do not need to be an ASG member to participate. You can sew at home and contact us for pickup or drop off prior to July 1, 2018.
This year's 4-H Sewing Camp was our 9th summer of partnership with 4-H. We had fun teaching and the kids had fun learning how to sew.
THANKS for letting us sew...

What is an NG? Its a Neighborhood Group!
We are real people meeting in real buildings to sew real things. And we have a blast. So take a moment to step away from the world of virtual reality and mosey on down to your nearest NG. Better yet, bring a friend with you!
