Sewing for a cause: Bean bag sets for orphan schools in Liberia

April 11, 2010 by Anne Weaver

Craft Hope has announced their latest charity sewing project.  They are partnering with the Liberian Orphan Education Project to provide bean bag sets to send to orphan schools in Liberia, West Africa.   This is an ambitious project, with hopes of collecting 20 sets each of alphabet, numbers, colors, and geometric shape bean bags.  They will use these bean bag sets as education tools in their schools.  There are specific requirements for each of these sets, so if this sounds like something you’d like to help with, click over to Craft Hope to get the details.

Deadline for the project is May 15.

[thank you to Celtic Momma for the link to this inspirational sewing project]

30 Jumpsuits You Can Sew Yourself – From Effortless Weekend Wear to Showstopping Styles

Let’s talk about the magic of jumpsuits.

One piece. Endless style. Zero outfit math.

Whether you’re living in your sewing studio or just dipping your toes into garment-making, there’s a jumpsuit pattern out there with your name on it. Think about it:

• Instant outfit (no more staring at your closet at 8am)
• Comfort that looks chic (secret pajama vibes, but make it fashion)
• Custom-fit perfection (goodbye gaping backs and too-long straps!)

But here’s the problem – store-bought jumpsuits never seem to get it quite right. The waist hits at the wrong spot. The straps dig in. The fabric feels cheap.

That’s why we’ve hunted down 30 incredible jumpsuit patterns – from easy-breezy weekend rompers to sleek, tailored styles that’ll make you feel like a fashion designer. And the best part? Many of these are absolutely FREE.

Whether you’re a beginner looking for a quick win or an advanced sewist ready for a challenge, this roundup has your next favorite project. Let’s find your perfect match!
