Samaritan's Purse sponsors one of my favorite
charity projects – Operation Christmas Child (shoeboxes full of gifts).
My children’s group at church is hosting a packing party this year with
a goal of 150 shoeboxes. I have been
shopping all year for items to go into the boxes. One of my projects for the 10-14 girl boxes
is sewing kits.
I have included a piece of fabric (donated), buttons, sewing
needles, safety pins, measuring tape, and thread in two colors. I purchased cones of thread last year and had
plenty left for this year. I wound it
onto floss bobbins. I had purchased the
measuring tapes in bulk last year and still have enough for one more year. I am still searching for a deal on
scissors. Right now I have less than $1 in
each kit. These will make nice additions
to the older girl shoeboxes!

Great sewing kits! I love them. Last year I wound the thread by hand onto cardboard. This year I definitely will be purchasing bobbins :)
