The Sewing Machine Project is dedicated to providing sewing machines and sewing tools to low-income individuals and those displaced by natural disasters such as the tsunami in Southeast Asia (December 2004) and Hurricane Katrina (August 2005). Begun in early 2005, The Sewing Machine Project works on local, national and international levels helping individuals and groups become self-sustaining through the art of sewing. We have delivered over 550 sewing machines to the Gulf Coast region post-Katrina. Additionally, we have sent machines to Sri Lanka, Kosovo, Mexico and Liberia. Our latest development is Sewing Shares: The Lending Library of the Sewing Machine Project.

We will also act as a resource offering sewing and small business education…
