Sew With Us
Use your talent to stitch joy into every stocking
Every Stitch Tells a Story of Love
Our handmade stockings are the heart of Give A Christmas. Each one is sewn by a volunteer — someone who chose to turn fabric and thread into a gift of hope for a child in need.
Whether you're an experienced quilter or picking up a needle for the first time, we'd love for you to join our sewing family. You can sew at home on your own schedule, join a sewing circle, or participate in group sewing events.
No two stockings are alike — and that's the beauty of it. Each one carries the unique personality of the person who made it, and the unique love intended for the child who receives it.
