From RAGS to BAGS

We like to keep things fresh at I.O. METRO. New products are frequently introduced. Our METRO CUSTOM collection is no different. When we launch new fabrics, others are discontinued. Thus, we have lots of old swatches left over. We’ve been donating these fabric swatches to a group in Rolla, Missouri. The lovely ladies of Sewing Endeavors for the Children donate their time to make SCHOOL BAGS for children in third world countries, shelters and crisis centers in the US. Who wouldn’t love a school bag with a fun print? It makes learning a little more fun!

We’re so happy that our fabrics are being recycled! If you’re interested in DONATING SCHOOL SUPPLIES, to fill the bags, contact Christine Howard (christine@io-metro.com) or click on Church World Service!
