Church sewing group sews dresses and shorts for Christmas boxes

Posted

MAYTOWN — The sewing group from St. Patrick’s Parish of Maytown recently gathered with Debbie Ward and Joyce Peterson, representatives from Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child, who had requested donations of dresses and shorts for their Christmas boxes. These boxes are sent all over the world to children in need. The Maytown sewing group donated 50 dresses and 37 pairs of shorts at this time. 

The group meets weekly in the parish hall for sewing and fellowship. Established in 2011, the group, with the help of others, have made 5600 dresses and hundreds of shorts. Feel free to contact Marilyn Weeks at 815-638-2202 for more information.
