Making bags to the pads
We are making some bags to keep the pads in to the girls in Somalia. We are going to make about 200 - and that feels like a lot. My mom was cutting and I was sewing and putting in the drawstrings and we have finished about 50. The problem now is to get snap buttons. They are quite expensive in Kenya so we are going to have our next guest bring many of them from London. We can buy coloured plastic ones on the internet and send it to her so she can bring them. She will come in February, so now we can produce the pads and the bags and then we'll put in the buttons when we get them. It feels like our study is a small sewing factory, but I really enjoy the work so we'll just keep going until we have enough. I also asked my mom to buy fabric dye, so we can make a few different designs. It is always more fun to change colors and make different looks. I love the idea that they are going to be sent to Somalia. I'm not sure how they will get them there. Are they planning to take them to Sweden and send from there? That sounds a bit crazy when Somalia is fairly close to Kenya. That will however not be our problem, even though we will do everything we can to help.
