I think it is a great idea. We have tried to get this started at our church but it has never quite gotten off the ground.
We had one very successful time when we did an extreme home makeover with Builders Care and wound up replacing instead of repairing her mobile home as we had hoped because it was filled with black mold and had numerous leaks.
We took it one step further. We are blessed to have an interior designer at our church and we installed customo-made, original design window treatments in every room and bath, replaced her furniture with gently used items ... it was beautiful!
Since that time we have tried meeting 1 Saturday a month to work on whatever we are working on, quilting, sewing, beading, knitting, etc. Sometime attendance is good, sometimes not. We tried walker caddies, there was not enough interest. We also ran into some 'quality' issues where some caddies were turned down due to poor workmanship. How do you tell someone who thinks they don't need your gently offered suggestions and don't see anything wrong with what they are making?
I've thought about pillowcases as they are small, easy to make and hard to mess up. Any other ideas out there?
