Sewing saves lives
We have a little lady at home.
She’s pretty cool…
She falls asleep anywhere, and she dances to the rhythm of her own lil’ drummer…
She’s a girly girl and we treat her like… well… a princess. One with strict rules and boundaries… of course… lol!
She doesn’t know about slavery, hunger, strife or poverty. (We live in Orange County for goodness sake!) Unfortunately for little girls around the world bondage is a reality.
I was introduced to International Princess Project years ago while on staff at a local church. The organization is amazing and they are ACTUALLY making a difference in the lives of women in India though sewing. (Because sewing rules and you should totally start.)
Women who are rescued from brothels need some sort of occupation… Enter International PrincessTM Project. The women are trained to make some pretty kick a&$ stuff:
International PrincessTM Project has their 3rd annual Gala fundraiser coming up on September 25th at the Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach. (Get tickets here.)
Don’t feel like changing out of your PJs? Buy some Punjammies at the International Princess Project shop!!!
Don’t need PJs? Just donate some cash-o-la here.
“Because every woman on earth deserves to be treated like a princess.”

I'm honored you clicked on Eli's Lids...I love visitors! Explore the blog to learn what really makes Eli's Lids so awesome... my little family and my inspiration... Eli! I'm a stay at home mama who starting sewing adorable "Lids" for my son in 2006. Before I knew it, friends and family were requesting Lids for their kids and baby shower gifts. I decided to sew my little heart out and start Eli's Lids! I've worked really hard to create a unique practical style for moms just like me. I hope you like them too. Many Blessings from my family to yours! ~Kara-Noel
Hot Hubby is the resident tech guy at Eli’s Lids. He gets all my ideas onto the computer so I can create. He is also the lifter of heavy things, killer of (small) spiders, and indulges my Anthropologie obsession. Though he has been know to slack off regularly because everybody knows he’s sleeping with the boss… often.
Our first born and the original inspiration for Eli’s Lids. Pirate obsessed. Cautious. Loves peach yogurt and veggies. Tells knock knock jokes like nobody’s business. Tall. Striking blue eyes. Doesn’t let anyone pick on his lil’ sister and brother… except him!
Dances to the beat of her own lil’ drummer. Loves getting her nails painted and playing games on Daddy’s iPhone. Adventurous. Perfect hair. Hates mornings. Can give a mean stink eye. Wants to read princess books all day.
My favorite (yeah I said it). Snuggler. Sweet tempered. Knock-out smile. French kisses everyone. Water baby. The reason I want more kiddos!

Love my punjammies. Are you going to the fundraiser, KN?
You have punjammies!?! I want to see them. Though I should just buy them either way, right!
Awesome! This is an excellent organization and I second Kara’s notion (pardon the sewing pun) to support them with mula! Our sewing manufacturer is a women’s prison that teaches these incarcerated women with very little skills and options, a valuable (and dying trade). I’ve seen it do wonders for them – so I love this program even more!
Hmmm, I mean to write MOOLA (as in SWEET MOOLA)
You are too funny. Is there even a correct spelling of moola?
I think its so great about your incarcerated women! I tell everybody when they comment on my wrap… which is all the time!
