Aprons For Haiti.

Designed by Iola
 (age 10)
I have been making aprons for "Project 17"


From the Project 17 facebook page:
It is unlikely that the average Haitian woman will ever receive anything that is special and pretty, something just for herself. Daily life for the Haitian woman is grueling and backbreaking. Most have to carry 5-gallon buckets of water on their heads from miles away. Cooking is done in a pit in the ground from handmade charcoal. The few pieces of clothing they have are washed in the river and hung to dry. 


To receive something as precious as an apron made with love from pretty new fabrics would go a long way in making a Haitian women feel special. We would love for you to join us as we sew and collect aprons for the women of Haiti! 


If you want to join in, the details can be found here.

I used these two helpful tutorials to make the aprons:

I made this one for my daughter.
