Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Well, Spongie, I guess you are still ahead of me because I have not received my pattern yet. So I tell you what if you can't sew your's just pack them up and send them to me because I have been sewing even since my grandmother taught me as a very young child. I also love sewing. You can just keep me in mind.

Hey Spongie and Florence, that's actually a good way to do it. I love to sew, but have been so busy buying, washing, and ironing the fabric, that having someone else sew has been a real blessing.
Because of that, they are almost done. 55 was a bit daunting, unitl I put out my plea for help.
There is sponge bob fabric, but haven't seen it in Patriotic. -

Hancocks has some beautiful patriotic fabric, but pricey. 2 single women bought me 8 yards between them. The last week of the month there is a coupon in the Hanny's flyer for 40% off 1 piece of fabric

Hello one and all I am new here so please bear with me. What is a freedom wrap and how can I get involved? I do sew and have time to spare. My son is new in the Navy currently at Great Lakes in A school and then onto Rhode Island in a few months for OCS. Tell me also about the pillow cases as I can make those in a jiffy even if I do it for the sailors at my son's A school. I could use some ideas to help keep moral up. I'd also be interested in sending items overseas, gift boxes, wraps (?) etc. I am interested also in the Adopt a sailor program. I guess the bottom line is I just need some information to get involved. Thank you so much. Jennifer
