October 17 was a success!

Sew Much For Charity and Free Fabric Giveaway was held on Saturday October 17 at the Rutherford House; thanks to all who came and helped make this a success! Blog entry to follow...

Mission Statement

Sewin' Sisters Sowing is an organization of interracial, interfaith, and intergenerational folks who want to help meet the needs of the neglected in their local Harrisburg, Pennsylvania community through sewing and prayer.

Marcellene Currens, Founder

Marcellene Currens is an ordained minister, and the founder of Sewin' Sisters Sowing, Sew Much for Charity, and Our Sewing Recital. She is passionate about teaching sewing to adults and children. Sewing was the very first profession, and Marcellene is thrilled God has allowed her to make her passion her profession. Her ministry is primarily to women who are hurting and who really just need someone to listen to them, and love them. Enjoy the blog!

Sewing: The Oldest Profession

"And the eyes of them both [Adam and Eve] were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." - Genesis 3:7

Filled With Skills

"He has filled them with skill to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in blue and in purple and in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs." -Exodus 35:35

There is a Time To Sew!

Did you know the Bible says there is a time to sew? "A time to rend, and a time to sew . . ." Ecclesiastes 3:7

We are our brother's keeper (Genesis 4:9)

It is our passion and our heart's desire to be a blessing and a presence in our local community. We are self-supported, giving our own time and materials in both learning and teaching others basic sewing skills and tips. In the process, we experience a great sense of belonging while we cultivate deep, meaningful friendships. Like Dorcas of the New Testament (Acts 9) we look for ways to sew much needed items for those around us.

How you can help

If you would like to be a part of our charity sewing efforts, we are always grateful for your prayers, and for your sewing skills. We also need donations of stamps, HP printer cartridges #93 and #92, and 3.5" stork scissors. And of course, we always need fabric (most of all 100% cotton, flannel, fleece, wool, and corduroy), notions (1" quilt/bias binding), and related sewing stuff. We'd love to hear from you. Just email Marcellene at macurrens@netzero.net. Thanks!

Can we sew for your organization?

If you know a group or individual who meets the needs of our disadvantaged neighbors in the Greater Harrisburg Area who could benefit from our sewing skills, please contact Marcellene at macurrens@netzero.net. We have many beginner sewers, so projects must be able to be completed by a novice sewer within a two hour time frame. Please give us a holler so we can see if we are able to assist you in your efforts to help others.
