Seeds to Sew International — Local services in Hopewell

I don’t remember how I first heard about Seeds to Sew International, but I’m glad I did!

I reached out to the organization back in May, I had checked out their website and was interested in buying a knapsack. Nina, the Operation Manager got back to me quickly, and sent me attachments for the patterns they had for the knapsack which was helpful. Since I wasn’t able to stop at the store, she let me know I could purchase the knapsack at the Pennington Farmers Market. That’s where I picked up a knapsack and also bought a bracelet. Great customer service!

I’ve had the knapsack since May and I like it a lot! Which means I use it a lot, I put my sunglasses, makeup bag, small water bottle etc. It works great for smaller items at the farmers market.

I like the bracelet I bought too, it looks blue and orange but in the sun it looks purple. It’s a fun piece of jewelry I like to wear for a pop of color.

Very nice women there explained the project to me patiently answering my questions. If I had the time I would have taken her up on her offer to make a few stitches in her flat bags to be able to add a bottom for groceries. Next time I have a lunch date in town, I think I will go a little early to do so....

Awesome, unique items and reusable gift wrapping bags. Everything they sell is handmade and helps provide economic opportunity and education for women and girls globally. When I need a gift, I...
