Pillowcase Project |
This project was created in an effort to ease the pain a child feels when they are removed from a home for their own safety. During those moments, their possessions are often gathered up and placed into a garbage bag. It’s a tragic time for the child, the family, and the protective services officer who must make the hard call at that moment. Giving the child a their very own pillowcase helps. You can get the free pattern using the button. | Get the Free Pattern and Learn More |
