Hopeful Threads: Our Projects

The whole idea behind Hopeful Threads is how we can use something we love doing to help a friend in need. There are a multitude of ways that you can give back with your creative love and talents and we'd love to have you join us! Here are some of the projects where we've enjoyed the privilege of doing just that...

Hopeful Threads - Creativity Shared!

Hopeful Threads

A place to share your creativity in a way that helps another.

WELCOME!

Hopeful Threads exists to provide ideas and encouragement for others to #SewToShare. Currently, I am suggesting that each person simply look within their own communities and connections for opportunities to give back this way. Occasionally, we will also work on a specific project together that is open to all interested and available to participate. Simply like minded people sewing and sharing the experience and outreach together. "Sew" happy you are here!

If something on this blog inspires you to create, great! That's the idea! Home sewers, feel free to use my tutorials to create as you choose, I simply ask that in addition to making things for yourself, you also find a way to give back with your creative talents. Please don't copy the tutorial itself. Content and photographs are the property of Kristy Smith.

As for my pictures, you are welcome to use project pictures when pinning or linking back to my posts. Pics of my family are just mine though, so please don't reuse them in any way. Thanks!
