Craft Hope's 'Project Apron' for Haiti

I'm super excited to announce that Haiti by Hand is the next project for Craft Hope!

Project Apron is now launched and ready to receive aprons for the women of Haiti.  For complete details, please visit Craft Hope's facebook page (their new website is not quite up and running yet). 

For the one or two of you (like me) who aren't on Facebook, here's some quick info...

APRONS FOR THE WOMEN OF HAITI:

--Keep the style pretty-but-practical.  Nothing too frilly, ruffly or lacey.

--Make sure the fabrics are very wash-friendly.  Quilting cottons are recommended.

--Either full or half aprons are fine.  A pocket or two would be nice.

--Keep the aprons more kitchen-apron style as opposed to craft/gardening/novelty type.

--You may include a hand-written note with your apron.

--Jade has set a deadline of May 31 for the aprons because she will want to move on to her next project.  However, you may continue to send aprons through the end of July if you need more time.  We have trips planned for June and November so your apron won't miss the boat!

--All sizes of aprons are accepted (even girl's sizes too).

--I am putting a 'Project Apron' board on my Pinterest site so you can see styles of aprons that I think will work great for the ladies.

How very special! I am the Washington State Rep for Dress A Girl Around the world and many of our dresses go to Haiti so I know a little about the poverty there. This is a great idea to help the ladies! http://sewdelightful.blogspot.com/

Hi Rebecca, I haven't checked in for months. Glad to see all this activity still going on for Haiti. I would love to send a few fabric scraps and maybe a towel or two. :o) I'll send you an email too. Fondly, Lori

Oh, this is so helpful -- I wasn't sure whether or not I was on the right track! :)

Can I add any of the items on your side bar in addition to my aprons to the same address?
Thanks, Jana
