Sewing & Jewelry Making Program

Welcome to Child Hope's Transition Program: Sewing & Jewelry making program!

In development we have a 14'x20' environment.   2 large sewing tables, a small table w/integrated manual machine (see below) are currently in place.

 Still to be added are shelves and additional smaller tables for jewelry making. Chalkboards and more permanent fans for circulation and other items will be added per a lean design, if possible.


 Presently, the girls go shopping in the market for fabrics to make the purses and beads to make jewelry with.  There is a large array of colors & styles to select from (the following pic only a small example from our new acquisition of 33 fabrics), including different weights to make the shell and lining of the purses with.

Currently we have 2 types of machines. This older Singer is manually powered and can work with the heavier fabrics without breaking down. We're trying to find additional bobbins & bobbin boxes for it, as well as refinish its table. (We're probably also going to be on the lookout for another machine like it, too!)

These 2 (and the 3rd which apparently didn't fit in the shot) machines are more modern, but also not as powerful.


Here are some examples of purses in the style and form the girls make them (although I don't have any of their current batch):

(Special thanks to Heartline Creations for these examples so I can put some up in a hurry)

Right now the girls are working on the jewelry - I'll have pics (and hopefully a link to purchase & shipping information) in just a few weeks or less!!!
