Summer Camp with CWT

Click HERE to learn more about what we have done to help youth learn how to sew!

We support a Girl Scout troop in Durham by providing 20 young women with instruction on how to sew.  We started with the basics and advanced to making flannel blankets for a local hospital, small bags for the girls to take home with them, Christmas ornaments for a local community, and have moved onto making pillowcases both for donation to Ryans Case for Smiles as well as for the girls to take home. We are following our mission to share our love of sewing, educate others on how to sew, and encouraging them to give items they make back to their community.

We  held two classes for teens at the Durham Public Library. The completed items will be distributed to community members with dementia by the library's outreach team. This outreach team visits community members who are unable to get out to the library themselves and provides them with books and support.  Learn more about the OASIS program here: https://durhamcountylibrary.org/older-adult-and-shut-in-service/.

We welcome all teens and adult helpers to join us!  If you are an adult helper, contact us at  connectingwiththreads2@gmail.com for more information on how you can help with this program!
