100-year-old Seamstress Makes Dresses to Pack in Shoebox Gifts


EVA BOSSENBERGER IS USING HER TALENTS TO 
BRING GLORY TO GOD THROUGH OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD.

Most mornings 100-year-old Eva wakes up between 3-4 and heads for her sewing machine. She’s a woman on a mission with no time to waste.

At the end of last year, Eva’s pastor asked her to make about 180 items for girls that could be packed in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. Eva didn’t have to think long before she knew what she’d do.


Eva Bossenberger is making dresses that will soon be packed in shoeboxes and distributed to little girls across the world who need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

These will be especially appreciated by the little girls on the spectrum. Children with autism cannot tolerate tags. I had to cut all the tags out of all my sons shirts. Now you know why all the new underwear is stamped instead of tagged. More and more people are on the spectrum.

I'll bet she does like my Mom did with all the clothes she made us, she always sewed in her own "Made by Eileen xxxxx" tag!
I would if I made a full piece of clothing!

Sorry to burst your bubble, 8:35, LOL!

10:44 It isn't about competition. I wish I didn't have to cut tags out of everything and I love the personalized tags too. If you knew about autism you would understand more.

8:35, have to say, companies do what is cheapest. Stamping is cheaper than tags. Doubt "spectrum" even darkens their minds.
