Sewing Teams
The Sewing Team covers several sub-teams of Angels who support the troops through their
sewing skills. Whether you are an expert seamstress or just a casual hobbyist, you can help our
Sewing Team meet the needs of the troops with your talents. You can join all the Sewing Team
groups, or just one if you like. To join Soldiers' Angels and participate in the Sewing team click
here to get started:
 Blankets of Hope -The Blankets of Hope team creates unique, handmade blankets to send
hope, support and gratitude to America's wounded and veterans.
 Scarves - The Scarves Team makes Sand Scarves and Cool Scarves for our troops
deployed to the "Sandbox." These scarves protect the wearer from the elements,
increasing their comfort level, safety and ability to focus on their work. They are simple
and easy to create, but soldiers who receive them report that they make a huge difference!
 VA Crochet and Craft -The VA Crochet & Craft Team makes and sends lapghans
(blankets), hats, scarves, trach/stoma bibs, catheter bag covers, ditty bags,
wheelchair/walker totes and slipper socks to VA medical facilities around the country.
 Operation Top Knot - Sewing for infants of deployed fathers - blankets, bibs, diaper bags,
onesies, hats, booties, clothing, quilts
