Sew My Dream
Sew Powerful Dallas Chapter
Since February 2022 Dallas Designing Dream has been the host studio for the Dallas Chapter of Sew Powerful. Chapters are made up of volunteers who help make the purses for the girls in Zambia to carry their menstrual supplies. The purses are shipped by Sew Powerful to Zambia where they are filled with menstrual supplies made by neighbor women and distributed to the girls during health class.
Dallas Designing Dreams Co-founder Carla Robertson serves as a Chapter leader. She has also traveled to Zambia to do vocational training with the seamstresses and help distribute the purses to the girls.
