Sewport Our Troops

Celebrating 2012 by giving back

Proceeds from the new book Speak Up and Stay Alive go to the Sewport Our Troops Pillowcase Project

Sewport Our Troops sends handmade pillowcases to our troops overseas. 
Our goal is simple: 
To create a one of a kind comforting reminder from home, that says, 
"we care - and may every soldier feel our love and appreciation." 
 
This year, we want to do even more - not only for our troops but for you too!
We recently bought a trunk-load of material still on the bolts and over 200 yards of individual fabrics. 
Our sewing machines are whirring ...
We're sending free pillowcases to you and free pillowcases to our troops and combat support hospitals. 
 

 
Buy 1 Give 1
 
 
Purchase a pillowcase/s for yourself, family and friends - 
when you buy one we give one!
 
 
If you would like to purchase a pillowcase/s for a specific military member or for yourself, a friend or family:
You can select the pillowcase/s of your choice. We will ship directly to you and you can forward to your loved one in Afghanistan.  Free shipping too!
 
BONUS:  - for every pillowcase you purchase for yourself,  we will also select a pillowcase from our military collection, stuff the pockets with granola bars, cookies and candy and send it to a combat support hospital and include your name with that pillowcase as the donor - at no extra charge to you. It's our holiday way of extending our thanks to you and to our troops.

All of our pocket pillowcases are made from brand new 100% cotton fabrics and boast three layers of beautiful material. Each fabric is individually selected for softness, design and color combination aesthetic. Prior to sewing, we launder the fabrics with a non-bleach organic soap, and dry without the use of synthetic dryer sheets. The soon to be pillowcase fabrics are hand cut, one at a time, and stitched in a smoke free, pet free location. All inside seams are french seamed or pinked to prevent fraying. Upon completion, each pillowcase is lovingly steam pressed with a light lavender mist, until perfect.

Our military pillowcases are unique. Each one features a special pocket.  We tuck surprise goodies, such as gum, hard candies, ice tea or lemonade mix, and granola bars into each pocket. We even add a small handwritten note with your name as the kind benefactor. Once the treats are gone, the recipient can use the pocket to stash photos from home, letters or other cherished mementos. Thanks to your small contribution, soldiers can stay close to their families, even when they are sleeping.

 
Your pillowcase gift is a handmade token of appreciation for the men and women who so willingly fight for our everyday freedoms.

"Hi Pat, I have several combat support hospitals who would love your pillowcases. Can you tell me about how many you have? 
Thanks for all you do." 
Roger Godskesen Medical Support Director - Soldiers' Angels
 
"Thank you so much Pat, for your kind support!! Our guys love their pillowcases:) dee:)"

You and your pillowcase contribution matter - please help us send a large HOLIDAY box to the combat support hospitals


It is amazing what a simple gesture such as a pillowcase can do to lift the spirits of our brave military men and women.
