Sewing saves lives

We have a little lady at home.

She’s pretty cool…

She falls asleep anywhere, and she dances to the rhythm of her own lil’ drummer…

She’s a girly girl and we treat her like… well… a princess. One with strict rules and boundaries… of course… lol!

She doesn’t know about slavery, hunger, strife or poverty. (We live in Orange County for goodness sake!) Unfortunately for little girls around the world bondage is a reality.

 International princess 1 I was introduced to International Princess Project years ago while on staff at a local church. The organization is amazing and they are ACTUALLY making a difference in the lives of women in India though sewing. (Because sewing rules and you should totally start.)

International princess 2 Women who are rescued from brothels need some sort of occupation… Enter International PrincessTM Project. The women are trained to make some pretty kick a&$ stuff:

International PrincessTM Project has their 3rd annual Gala fundraiser coming up on September 25th at the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach. (Get tickets here.)

Don’t feel like changing out of your PJs? Buy some Punjammies at the International Princess Project shop!!!

 Don’t need PJs? Just donate some cash-o-la here.

 

 “Because every woman on earth deserves to be treated like a princess.”

      You have punjammies!?! I want to see them. Though I should just buy them either way, right!

    Awesome! This is an excellent organization and I second Kara’s notion (pardon the sewing pun) to support them with mula! Our sewing manufacturer is a women’s prison that teaches these incarcerated women with very little skills and options, a valuable (and dying trade). I’ve seen it do wonders for them – so I love this program even more!

        You are too funny. Is there even a correct spelling of moola?
        I think its so great about your incarcerated women! I tell everybody when they comment on my wrap… which is all the time!
