SEW FOR BACKPACK 4 AUSSIE KIDS

Hello, firstly thank you for taking the time to read this very important message.


I have recently become aware of a fantastic organisation called Backpack for Aussie Kids http://backpacks4aussiekids.com.au/ who have set themselves a goal of providing 1000 backpacks to foster care children around Australia. I won't go into the finer details of the organisation as it's all on their website.

What I am proposing is donating crayon/pencil rolls to this great cause. I as one person can only accomplish so much but as a group I am hoping we can band together to sew as many rolls as possible. So if you can sew & would like to help that would be great.

The rolls take very little fabric to make & Spotlight has some wonderfully bright cotton fabrics that are very inexpensive. I would only ask that you offer to make as many as you think you are able, I will not be setting a min. amount per person.

On Monday, 21st I will email everyone with the pattern & instructions on how to make the crayon rolls. I hope also have adapted the pattern to make it larger for pencils or felt pens.
If you would like to be apart of this please email me at sweetcheekcrafts@gmail.com before Monday, 21st June

Warmly
Renee Webb
