Delivery Bags for Chubby’s Project & Port Pillows for Cancer Patients

This year we have two sewing projects on the Sunday of Service! The bags we made for the Chubby’s Project, which are used to take meals to over 20 families three days each week, are wearing out, so we will be customizing new bags with label pockets, logos, and stiffening.  We will also be making “port pillows” to cushion car shoulder belts for people who have an infusion port.  We need donations of colorful pieces of cotton fabric, at least 4” by 12 ½” (quilters, please check your stashes!)

The skills and equipment needed:

-                      IRONING the bags (we need 3 ironing boards and irons)

-                      CUTTING vinyl, interfacing, velcro, and fabric – bring scissors and rolling cutters/cutting boards

-                      MACHINE SEWING on both the bags and the pillows (bring portable sewing machines)

-                      CUTTING corrugated plastic board to reinforce the bottoms of the bags (we will have box cutters for this)

-                      TURNING AND STUFFING THE PILLOWS

-                      OPERATING THE HEAT PRESS FOR THE BAG LABELS
