Hi Everyone! This week is a bit different. I'm really hoping you enjoy following along with me as I travel to Lusaka, Zambia to visit with the seamstresses that we support through Sew Powerful. The topic of organization carries through into several areas relating to this trip :) First, How did I do on my own organization prepping and planning my sewing projects to be able to travel for two weeks! Second, I worked with a few ladies to organize a few fun sewing projects to train the Lusaka seamstresses on some new skills, and lastly, how can we work with the co-op to provide them with a fun happy workspace that is organized and optimized for success? I hope you have fun watching this video and please share with me your thoughts and suggestions.... Enjoy!
Week Four tasks:
- Watch the video :) Then share your tips and suggestions for sewing room set up and storage for the Sewing Cooperative in Ngombe. It's basically a blank slate, and materials are very limited, but if we create a plan and it works for them we can set goals and begin to implement them :) It's also extremely dusty, no paved roads so dirt and dust abound!
- Interested in learning more about the Sew Powerful Purse project? You can find the free pattern at SewPowerful.org (scroll halfway down the page)
- Follow Sew Powerful on Facebook or join the Sew Powerful Purse FB group (it's very active and quite inspiring!)
- Post questions as comments under the Facebook Group Post

Thank you Cinnamon for sharing this wonderful video. I have been following your trip on Facebook and through your emails. You and Jason are two of the most giving folks I know. Not only do you help all of us with all your classes and access to many doll clothes designers but you also find the time to help others to help themselves. I am very proud to be part of the Sew Powerful organization by making purses. To me each purse is full of joy and hope for a better life. May God Bless you, your family and all your helpers.
