1999 Featherweight Fanatics Challenge

"Bringing the Featherweight into the New Millennium"
The purpose of this challenge is to create an item, using a Featherweight Sewing machine, that benefits mankind. Your project, size, scope and material is not limited. It may be as small as a Teddy Bear for a fireman to give to a small, fearful, child or as large as a King Sized Quilt, auctioned for a charitable cause. You may choose whatever fits into your own personal schedule.

Featherweight Fanatics is a group of enthusiasts who appreciate and collect Featherweight sewing machines. It has become clear, as we uncover much information about the past uses of sewing machines, that many of these machines have been put to use for charitable causes. It is in this spirit that we bring the Featherweight to the new millennium.

We, collectively, have the power to show kindness to others, putting our own interests aside momentarily. As sewing enthusiasts, we can demonstrate that the mighty Featherweight is here to stay and is a force that is here to stay in it's 2nd millennium and century!
