AURORA, Ill. – January 13, 2020 – BERNINA of America, the premier manufacturer of sewing, embroidery and quilting machines, is proud to announce the launch of "Sew to Serve," a new series that will be featured on the BERNINA of America blog, WeAllSew. The premise of "Sew to Serve" will be to shine a light on those in the sewing community who are using their passion for sewing to give back to those in need.
The "Sew to Serve" series will kick off by highlighting the Animal Rescue Craft Guild, an organization made up of individuals who sew, build and design for animals in need. They are currently focused on creating items for animals that have been affected by the Australian bushfires. To help support this cause, BERNINA of America will host a sew-a-thon to benefit these animals. BERNINA is encouraging their sewing community to sew items like joey pouches, blankets and animal beds that will be sent to Australia. To help increase participation, BERNINA is giving away one BERNINA 325 sewing machine to a lucky participant who creates a sewn donation and shares it through the WeAllSew community section. All donations will need to be uploaded by February 29, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. Central Standard Time. The winner will be announced in early March.
If you are interested in being a part of the "Sew to Serve" series, you are encouraged to share your volunteer sewing efforts through social media by using the hashtag #WeAllSewtoServe and tagging @berninausa. You can also share your story by uploading pictures and information to the WeAllSew Community section. Readers are also encouraged to share any organizations or volunteer opportunities that need help accomplishing their mission.
