The Great American Stitch Chain!

The Creativity Shell is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that teaches sewing/textile arts programs at Houston Public Libraries, public schools and shelters that rescue children from human trafficking. The organization provides the sewing machines, fabrics, supplies and certified sewing/textile arts instructors to teach kids.

By making a Stitch Chain, students will have the opportunity to create a public textile art project that will allow them to unite and accomplish a common goal with other children in their cities and states. By linking the Chains together, the Creativity Shell hopes to display the message to our children that they are all connected in many different ways.
