Notes from Our Readers

Hello!

I am so happy I saw your Sew-a-Thon notice on the AllFreeSewing website. 

My 3 year old grandson was diagnosed with bi-lateral retinoblastoma shortly after he was born. After 2 1/2 years of traveling from his home to his children’s hospital, my grandson’s eyesight has been saved. I was making a small drawstring gift bag for children when we got the frightening news about my grandson. It was a very difficult time for our whole family. I am happy to make this donation to your cause. 

Sincerely,
Janice

Thank you for supporting OCC!

I’m not the best sewer but had so much fun making these for the kiddos! <3

I had so much fun using up some of my fabric stash! Just thinking of the smiles these pillows slips will bring.
