SEWING PROGRAM

Good news from the Sewing Program:

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful knitters, crocheters, and quilters, we are very well stocked with afghans and quilts! At this time, we do not have a need for more afghans. It's because of your kindness that we have fulfilled our need of blankets for quite some time.

We do continue to have a need for the stuffed bears that each camper will take home with them. Our supply is dwindling and we are sending out a call for more bears. VJ is so blessed to have so many caring donors and we thank you always for what you do!

Victory Junction's sewing program is currently accepting checkered bears and horses.

Beginning in 2011, please use Simplicity Pattern #5461 (picture D) for the bear and Simplicity Pattern #2921 for Vic the Horse (picture C).

• Afghans - NOT NEEDED AT THIS TIME. Each camper at Victory Junction takes home a hand-made afghan as a souvenir from camp.
  • The afghans should be knitted or crocheted with bright, cheerful colors! Our camper unit colors are blue, green, yellow and red and are great choices for afghans!
  • There are no specific design requirements, you can be as creative as you like!
  • The afghans should be 35-40 inches wide by 45-50 inches long.
• Hand-made Teddy Bears - In addition to an afghan, each camper will also receive a hand-made camp teddy bear or a Vic the Horse mascot.
  • The bears should be approximately 18 inches in height.
  • Bears should be made of black and white checkered fabric.
  • Please use Simplicity Pattern #5461, picture D (Plain face, no button eyes or nose, omit vest).
  • Try making your bear unique by making some of the panels solid or patterned fabrics. Just keep approximately 50% of the bear in a black and white checkered fabric. (Note: If using racing fabrics, please do not use any alcoholic or drug sponsored fabrics. Thank you!)
    If you have good luck with the old pattern, please continue to use whichever you find easiest. Both bears will be gladly accepted.
    Thank you for your continued support!
• Hand-made Vic the Horse Mascot - In addition to an afghan, each camper will also receive a hand-made camp teddy bear or a Vic the Horse mascot.
  • The horse should be approximately 15 inches in height.
  • The horse should be made of black and white checkered fabric, black fabric, white fabric and bright colored yarns
  • Please use Simplicity Pattern #2921, picture C (no button eyes).
