What we did was take patterns for two different sizes of shoe and cut out those patterns. Those patterns along with $10 will be sent via Sole Hope to Uganda and Zambia where widows and widowers will receive a fair wage to make the shoes. Sole Hope will then distribute the shoes to needy children. I encourage you to go check out their website and their online store, if you want to know more or help out.
Last night we ate lots of food, watched the video about what we are doing and why, and then we got down to business. Here is a few pictures of our fun!!
Tracing the patterns onto the material....
More tracing....
Cutting, cutting, and more cutting....
It was supposed to be a girl's night but when we saw how much cutting there was left, we roped my hubby into cutting....
We traced and cut for about 4 hours last night and left the last little bit for this morning. We got the whole family involved in organizing the bags....
And the finished product....
Feet that might have looked like this....
....will have shoes!!
PLEASE consider having your own shoe cutting party!!
Have a good weekend!!! :)
