Pillowcase Dresses - Help with Topeka High Interact Project
Here is a great opportunity for helping build our relationship with our new Interact Club at Topeka High School.  The member of the THS Interact are working on a project making "Pillowcase Dresses" for children in need in our community.  Please bring your items to the October 3 meeting OR drop them by Angel Zimmerman's Law Office on Quincy St. If you don't want to shop, cash contributions will be taken at the October 3 meeting.  The Interact students would like to start creating the dresses during October.  
 
You are asked to help by providing some of the supplies needed for the Interact Group's project, which include:
  • Pillow Cases - new or gently used, plain or patterned or colored
  • Ribbon - satin or other types, plain or fancy, any color
  • Rickrack Trim - any size and color
  • Fabric Glue
  • Fabric Paint
  • Bedazzling Trim, e.g. jewels or similar decorative pieces
Contact me or Angel if you have questions.  Thanks for your help!
