Virtual Tour Continues Mission Makeover Sewing Room

Welcome to our virtual ministry tour. I hope you've enjoyed the last few days of vintage photo's and stories. Today we invite you to join us for a little tour of the Mission Makeover sewing room(s) . . .

I wonder if anyone remembers our actual first 'temporary' location?

Leave a comment if you remember!

Sewing Room #1 was at our Pipeline location. In this room we had space for 6 sewing machines and we were squeezed in. I love this photo showing the girls hard at work. And quilts hanging on the wall. We were so happy to 'move in'. The space was really pretty small. It was chopped into small rooms but we made do. I loved the long hall where we could hang quilts. And we had space for our beautiful table.

But the actual sewing room was a little small. We had to limit our numbers. We used this space the first six months. And then, the first of the year came and the adjacent space next door become open. Praise God we were able to expand!

We actually could get 24 sewing machines in this room. (We didn't own 24 but if we needed to we could!)

The space was so big we had two large counters. And we could get a bunch of people in the room. This photo shows a Service Project night with a The Met Church. Our girls got to play the role of teacher. They loved it.

This space was so much bigger and nicer. And since we kept the original space we had room for a devotional area. And room for the beautiful table where we spent many evenings laughing, eating and sharing.

Each evening we shared a snack supper and a devotional presented by a volunteer or a guest.

And our next sewing room . . .

Lots of smiles. Lots of quilts. Lots of memories . . .

And then we moved to . . .

. . . Richland Hills was a fun space. We continued to have Community Service girls (teen court), the girls halfway house. And, we began having girls from 'Kimbo' the juvenile jail on Saturdays.

Our Saturdays were some of our best times. Although short! It was a challenge teaching the girls to use a machine and make a pillow case in a span of 3 hours. But, many pillowcases were completed and many lives touched.

In 2010 we went mobile . . .

In the spring our sewing room was located at First Baptist Keller.

I hope you've enjoyed this little journey. We have lots more photo's to share. We hope you'll visit again often!

As we look forward to 2012 many plans are underway for sewing projects! To stay informed please sign up to receive our email posts!
