People are needed to take part in a sew-a-thon to turn old pillow cases into new dresses to clothe young children in a remote part of Vanuatu.
Living Well Church's senior pastor Andrew Parrington is heading back to the island of Tanna in August on an outreach programme for two
weeks, so his wife Jane Parrington decided to run the sew-a-thon in support of families living there.
"They will go to where there are the extreme poor ... There was interest in a craft project resurrecting old pillow cases to make dresses," she said.
"The idea is to help those who are very isolated. They have very little and even if they weren't so isolated they still don't have the money ... a lot of the kids have hardly any clothing at all. They have nothing."
She was surprised by how much fabric you could get from one pillowcase. She even managed to make little accessories like rosettes for the front of the dresses.
