Mission:

Reaching beyond ourselves through children’s clothing, promoting global interaction, and putting faith and love into motion.

 

The birth of 3 seams:

3 seams came to be over the course of about 4 years.  God had been growing a passion within me for women and children around the world.   At the same time, as a mom of young children, God was giving me great passion for helping to grow global perspective and compassion within our next generations here in America.  As I sadly watched our culture become more and more materialistic, indulgent, and self-centered, I realized that our young upcoming generations had very little concept of how incredibly fortunate they were, and in the same respect, very little concept of the extreme poverty and struggle going on around the world.

 (This became the question….)

How could I tackle both of these passions with creativity?

 (And this became the answer….)

3 seams is a organization dedicated to both issues.  Our organization creates opportunities for people to purchase clothing for their children while at the same time supplying a child in need with an identical piece.  Each piece of clothing is made in sets of two. And, as of Summer 2011, all pieces will be sewn by our Haitian seamstress program!  One of these pieces goes home with the buyer and one is donated by 3 seams to an organization that ensures a child in need will receive it!  Not only does a child somewhere around the world receive a much needed item, but the child here in America knows that there is a child somewhere else in the world wearing the exact same dress… or pants… or shirt….  

blessings and smiles,
