I have been asked to help with one of the service projects for the BYU Women’s Conference this year. I am excited to be a part of this organization. They always do so much good in these service activities.
This year, one of three of the projects that they are doing is making felt backpacks for school children. The fun thing about this project this year is that it is going to stay right here in our own communities!
I was asked to help sew some of the velcro on the backpacks. This was done by machine and that is the only thing sewn by machine. The rest of the backpacks are all sewn by hand! That is what all the women will doing Thursday night of the conference! It will be quite a sight to see so many women doing service all at the same time!
This is only a very small percentage of all the backpacks that will be made that night.
Isn’t this one of the cutest little “Backpack” models that you ever did see?
We are doing both boys and girls versions. The boys have either a truck or a football on the front and the girls have a flower. How cute are they?
I am excited about this project and look forward to being involved with it!
If any of you are interested in attending this conference you can go here for information. The conference is April 26th and 27th at BYU University in Provo UT.
If any of you happen to attend this conference and go over to the night of service activity, come by and say “Hi”, I would love to meet you!
I just found your blog. You have some great ideas. What a great service project. I just might go to Woman’s Conference this year. I’ll stop by and say hi. Thanks for all the good you do.
Oh, please do stop by and say hi if you go to Women’s Conference, I would love to meet you!
