serger sewing machine for immigrant (Chatham, NY)

Safia Mayar is an immigrant woman from Afghanistan. I have had the pleasure of getting to know her through a "sewing as a common language" project called Stitching Exchange. She is a very skilled and talented seamstress, able to create clothing, bedding, etc., without a pattern! We were able to give her a sewing machine which was donated by a kind supporter. She really wants a serger sewing machine! If you have one that is in good working order that you can give, Safia will be very happy and thankful! I will deliver it to her in Albany, where she lives. For more information about Stitching Exchange please take a look at my website or just ask! - Melissa Sarris
