Sewing Group

Flexible Schedule | Kansas City, MO 64134

Barrett Circle is a group of women who make quilts as well as simple sewing projects to support Crittenton Children's Center. Meetings are held at 10:30am on the second Wednesday of the month, September through May, in various homes. Quilting is a plus, but those with only basic sewing skills are welcome as well. If you enjoy sewing and would like to help children and teens, this is a great opportunity. Doesn't require a huge time commitment and projects can also be done at home.
