Patterns for Haiti!

Update: As of 6pm Pacific time over $800 raised!

100% of all pattern sale proceeds to go to Three Angels Haiti today! We raised $759 a few days ago and I hope to raise some more funds for them with your help again! All of the Three Angels Orphanage children are now on U.S. soil and Three Angels Haiti is now turning their attention to the people who still need help in Haiti. Please go visit their site and read some of the updates. They also take donations through the site as well.


Just a note about why I picked Three Angels Haiti: I became aware of Three Angels a few months back through Shannon Hoffman, the director. She was looking for some sewing projects to teach some of the girls in a sewing class. She explained to me that a simple sewing project, whether a toy or a dress or a Christmas ornament, could be the only hope some of these girls/women would ever have. It just moved me beyond belief that a simple pattern or craft idea that we take for granted everyday could eventually be a livelihood for a young girl somewhere else.

  2. Great stuff! I actually just heard from a friend that lives in Haiti that the Nation has opened and expiditaed the adoptions that are/where in process! For all those little angels that were in limbo, they are now able to go with their families IMMEDIATELY! What a huge blessing!

  5. I've had this pattern in my favorites for a long time. This is the perfect reason to just jump in and grab it. I have so many fun tee shirts to upcycle for this sweet girl of mine. Thanks!!

  11. That's awesome. But, I am ordering you to take a Starbucks trip (either coffee or diet coke is fine) and STOP working for an hour. Just remember, none of us are with you, you are ALLOWED to take a break. I know you are tough but let your mind continue to think creatively. If you go 100% business you're bound to get too tired to THINK UP MORE GOODS for us :)
    Love LBB :)
