Zharity Reusable Pad Group Sewing Events

Zharity has recently initiated a new project to make reusable feminine hygiene pads for those in need.  Our first effort will support an agency that sends these pads to women/girls in Cameroon,  and also provides education to them about menstruation.  Our goal is to provide 500 finished feminine pads for this organisation by the end of Fall 2023.  We are grateful to our Home Sewing team who will be sewing over 20% of our pad project  goal during this summer!  

We are now calling on people who have prior machine sewing experience and would like to get involved!  In the Fall, we will be hosting 2 group sewing events at the Social Fabric Sewing Atelier.  All materials will have been already prepared/pre-cut and we now need your help to sew our final pads!   While we do need people for these events who can machine sew, the pads are simple to sew and do not require advanced skills.  No need to bring any equipment or machines - Social Fabric will have everything available and ready for us to use.  We hope you can join us to help bring this goal to reality!
