This is awesome! Look at all the great bags that Bagette Mary and her team made for such a worthy cause. My chapter, like the Wichita Chapter, is still making several bags but not meeting in person. Bagette Barb comes to my house to grab serged handles to cut at home, Bagette Sherry drops off fabric for me to serge into handles for her bags, Bagette Lori gets fabric and handles from me to turn into bags and Bagette Tami has been making bags from her own stash. It works. Not exactly like we would hope, but we are still turning out bags and donating them wherever is needed. If you have a chapter, I would love to know how you are doing during this pandemic. Hugs to all, stay healthy! Teresa
Hi Teresa,
Because of illness, etc, we didn't have a chance to sew together, but 4 of our group, made 108 bags to give to our parish St Vincent de Paul Society to give away at the Warming Souls winter shelter in downtown Wichita.
Our sewists, from left to right, are : Bagette Linda, Bagette Donna, Bagette Jeanine Noah, and me, Bagette Mary.
The three men on the right are members of the St Vincent de Paul Society (Steve, Kent, and Gary).
For the tally of bags:
81421 to 81449 to St Vincent de Paul Society for Warming Souls
93000 to 93079 also to St Vincent de Paul Society for Warming Souls
Thank you and have a great week!
Bagette Mary
Coordinator, Wichita, KS chapter
