I make face masks for an organization in Massachusetts who distribute them to children who have Congenital Heart Defects. Right now I am the only one who is making these for the organization. They had a pattern & write up about the face masks back in 2013 but when they changed their web page they lost the pattern. I'll p.m. you with the info & will try to scan the pattern for you if your group would like to help. They require 100% cotton & in kid-friendly fabric. I'm running low on kid-friendly fabric but am making a lot in bright colors that I think the kids would like.

Our small Mission Sewing group (3-6 of us meeting weekly)has made turbans and do-(?) rags for chemo patients. We've also participated in the Little Dresses for Africa project. This program and patterns can be found on-line. Basically it is making pillowcases into dresses. Another item is seatbelt pillows to keep the seatbelt from rubbing the surgical area following breast surgery. This is also available on-line

kids in foster care move often and usually with anything they own in trash bags--so our guild is making large totes with some pockets for them. My daughter works in a job with many foster care kids and says that bags are best--that states require bedding and food for foster care but little else really.

Bags with pockets are great for charities, shelters, etc. Hats, scarves, glasses cases, re-usable grocery totes, softies for kids to love.
