We’ve been so inspired by the work of Project Hope<\/a> and by the many dresses that have been made and donated to the orphanages of Haiti through their efforts. We thought it would be fun to bring people together for a sewing party to create a few more items to send, and you’re invited to join us!<\/p>\n

\"Project<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We hope you’ll join us in New York on Saturday, March 24, for a sewing party and open house. At the request of the folks at Project Hope, we’ve developed larger sizes of the Popover Sundress for the older girls and a simple shorts pattern for the boys. Moda has generously donated the fabric that we’ll be using. We’ll see how many garments we can make in a day, and we’ll be sure to have a lot of fun doing it.<\/p>\n

I’ll bring the food and drinks for everyone. S is planning to DJ for us. And Heather Ross (who designed our adorable invitation!) will be joining us as well.\u00a0 (I haven’t decided yet whether to give Heather a job or whether we should just make her tell us silly stories while we work. But either way I can guarantee that everything is more fun with Heather around.) You’ll get to work in the Oliver + S design studio, so you’ll see how things work around here and we’ll get a chance to get to know you! How can you resist?<\/p>\n

We’re hoping you’ll come and chip in for an hour or two (or more!). If you’re interested, please send an email to rsvp@oliverands.com, and tell us if you prefer to come in the morning or afternoon. That will help us to plan for the day and make sure that everyone has a valuable (and enjoyable!) job to do when they arrive.<\/p>\n

I do hope you can come! Sewing is even more fun when done with friends, and we’d love to have you join us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
