Craftgrrl Craft for Charity
UPDATE! :http://craftgrrl.livejournal.com/13721849.html
(I'm sure you all are tired of hearing from me by now - Sorry!)
So it's been brought to my attention that Sew Expo has a crafting for charity thing called pillow case patrol. It's where a bunch of seamstresses and embroiderers make pillow cases for the kids at Mary Bridge Childrens Hospital. Last year they took in 2800 pillowcases which is about a 3 month supply.
I really think that for our first Craftgrrl Craft for Charity we should get in on this. A pillowcase only takes about a yard and a half of fabric (HELLO STASH BUSTER!) and is so insanely easy to make that even the most inexperienced of us could do them... not to mention it's for a good cause. Pillowcases are even light enough that maybe the non-US based craftgrrls could participate.
We could make them, send them all to one place and then have them all delivered to Sew Expo in March with a big note that says something like <3 craftgrrl with the names of everyone who participated. We could even have a photo gallery for you all to upload pics of your pillow cases before you send them off.
What do you guys think? WHO IS WITH ME?!?!?!
