We are a small group of people dedicated to helping the wonderful people of Haiti. Through the efforts of many we were able to collect, refurbish and send 21 hand-crank sewing machines to Haiti in February of 2012. Currently we are in the process of finding, fixing, and finishing 40 machines to send to Haiti next year (2015). We need your help in continuing this effort. We need sewing machines and or parts for Singer models 15, 66, 99. These are the ones we are familiar with. Please look through our site for other ways to help and to see what we are all about.

Dresses/Tote Bags

Dolls

Sewing Machines

This year we were able to take around 1200 dresses and 200 tote bags to Haiti. These were given away to those in need around Cap-Haitien and Port-au-Prince. They were created with the sewing efforts of many people around the country (Thank you!) and it was a pleasure to be able to share in the work. We can use any help in continuing this effor as well.

We took about 50 handmade dolls to Haiti and gave them away to the localorphanages. I will be posting some designs if you wish to make some dolls to help continue this effort.

"We took 21 hand-crank Singer sewing machines plus sewing supplies and had 2 classes (1 week in Cap-Haitien and 1 week in Port-au-Prince) where we taught 21 women how to use the machines.  The machines were 50 to 100 years old and are beautiful.  The ladies each took a machine home with them at the end of the week.  The women learned quickly and were very appreciative.  In Cap-Haitien we saw the women load their machines on motorcycle tap-taps (cabs) at the end of the week to take them home." - Barbara Dean
