One of the projects I've been working on for India is making eyeglass cases for the glasses we'll be giving away at the clinic. It's been a family project for us, along with some other enlistments.
First, my dad marked up five vinyl tablecloths into 7-inch squares.

Next, we cut them out. Some of my fellow choir teachers helped do this at rehearsal one night. Thanks girls!

Then a simple fold and stitching up two sides. This is the most action my sewing machine has seen in the past ten years. I'm so grateful to Janice Todd for making 250 of these for me!

The kids at church worked on making some inserts to slide inside with the glasses. Some simply say, "Jesus Loves You," but a few worked hard at putting more on there.


The final product...

After all was said and done we have 562 of these. The goal is to see around 150 people per day for five days, but not all of them will need glasses. I'm really hoping we have enough for everyone to have one. They aren't anything deluxe, but better than a snack-sized Ziploc bag.
Thanks to everyone who gave me a hand with these. I love how so many people are having a chance to be a part of this trip!
