SEWING MINISTRY
Come join us and make a difference in the community! We make a variety of items: fleece hats/mittens, pediatric pillows, clothing protectors, baby blankets/burp cloths, bandana bibs, Christmas stockings for the troops, quilts, altar linens, walkers bags, and clothing protectors for the elderly, plus much more! No experience is necessary…we need help pressing, cutting, and pinning. We can also teach or refresh sewing skills for those who are interested. We have sewing machines and a variety of donated fabrics.
If you would like to learn more about this ministry, please email or call St. Rita church office (parishoffice@stritarockford.org/815-398-0853).

Fall Happenings…
Our September and October meetings were very productive! Our members continued work on Christmas stockings and also spent time making clothing protectors. We are very blessed to have generous donations of fabric to transform into useful items for our community. If you are unable to make it to our monthly meetings, we also welcome contributions from at-home sewers. We have fabric, patterns and ideas to get you started! There is always a need and appreciation of your sewing creations!
