Every month Kristy over at Hopeful Threads holds a new charitable sewing event. Every month it is a different task ranging from cloth diapers to dresses, all for people in need in other countries. Be it that every month is a new goal and donation, you can join in any time and contribute. This month (July) all participating are making shorts for boys to send to Children in Families in Cambodia. Since I am surrounded by boys, I figured this would be a great month for me to contribute. Below are the pictures of the two shorts that I am contributing to this goal. Both are 18/24 month size, with a simple elastic waist. Kristy was aiming to have 100 pairs to donate, and as of right now, she already has 200! So awesome! Be sure to head over to Hopeful Threads at the beginning of August to see what Kristy announces as the new event and you too can contribute!
The next event is currently ongoing and you can join in right now! Jessica (Euphoria on Flickr) is hosting Bibs for Babies - A Charitable Event for Crafters. She is asking that you make 2 bibs and send them to her. She in turn will collect them all and donate them to Operation Baby Shower, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides joyful baby showers for military families to ease the burden of deployment. It is so great to support our military families who are working so hard for our wonderful country. Below are the two wipe-able (protective clear plastic layer on top) bibs that I am donating to this cause. They are backed with terry cloth and feature snap closures for ease of use and it keeps baby from yanking it off, which is a feature that I love when making and buying bibs! All bibs must be mailed by August 31, 2012, so you still have plenty of time to join in! Head over to the Flickr group for more information.
