mending communities, one sewing machine at a time

A New Collection Site!

The Sewing Machine Project has a new collection site! Linda of Linda’s Sew n So in northwestern Ohio has offered to take in machines for the project. Linda’s shop is located in Celina, Ohio at 216 W. Fayette Street. Her phone number is 419-586-2324. What a generous offer to collect machines and clean them up for distribution! As always, please donate only working machines. Additionally, we are not currently collecting machines in cabinets…just too bulky and not enough demand for these machines.

Thank you, Linda!

    Linda,
    I have a fair amount of sewing notions… some thread, but
    mostly, rick rack, buttons and bindings.
    Can I mail these clean notions on to your address or perhaps another address?
    I’d appreciate your input, please mail your response to me at
    meca1255@verizon.net

    Many thanks, Mary A.
    (Edison, NJ)

    I did see your work on T.V.! I also saw on PBS a Haitian women in desprite need of a sewing machine. Her job is to sew uniforms for school kids which in turn provides an education for her children. I want to be involved. My husband and I go to autions regularly. What type of machines are you looking for specifically. Can you coustomize an electric machine to pedal? This Haitian woman was asking for material as well. I’m don’t have much myself but the quilters I talk to hord material:’) As a sewer, teacher and mom its something practical I could help with. What I can offer is finding machines, and material to donate. I just need where to send it. Working part-time I don’t have much to offer but I can do that.
