KNITTING FOR CHARITY : CROCHETING FOR CHILDREN : SEWING FOR KIDS NONPROFIT : VOLUNTEER KNITTING & SEWING

WE ARE NO LONGER ACTING AS A NON-PROFIT AND DON'T ACCEPT ANY DONATIONS. HOWEVER, WE ARE KEEPING THIS ARTICLE UP AS TO HELP YOU DONATE TO OTHER NON-PROFITS.

Do you want to brighten up the days of a sick child? Are you a crafty person who likes to knit or sew? We need your creative spirit and your loving help. There are so many children in hospitals, shelters, orphanages, etc who could use a cuddly animal or doll. Look below for more info.

WHO CAN HELP?

Anyone!! We encourage anyone to help. We are looking for Knitting Groups / Knitting Clubs / Sewing Friends / School Children / Brownies and Girl/Boy Scouts Groups, Religious Organizations, Senior Citizens and Retirement Homes, etc. to help out our cause. There are easy and hard patterns below...find an easy one if you are a beginner (The Easy Yarn Doll Pattern, Mini Yarn Doll Pattern, Blue Jean Bag, Knit T-Shirt Bag, The Sock Monkey, and Sock Elephant are the easiest)

CAN CHILDREN HELP?

Of course. It would mean a lot to the sick children that another child cared enough to make a bag or a stuffed animal for them. We would even love for hand-crafted notes and cards to be sent along with your knitted or sewn item. Children who are too young or who can't keep up with projects, can make cards or artwork to send with the bag of goodies.

CAN WE FILL THE BAGS WITH ITEMS OR SEND ITEMS TO YOU?

Of course, that is a great idea. Items must be new as they are being shipped to hospital patients whom cannot be exposed to germs. Below are arts and crafts items that would be great to receive, but we are also interested in toys as well. Yoyos are very popular with patients.

Arts and Crafts Kits, Paint-by-Number Sets, Markers, Crayons, Colored Pencils, Watercolor Painting kits, Oil pastels, Beeswax sheets for candle making (all colors), Black velvet pictures to color, Glitter pens/glitter glue, Fabric markers, Scene/story stickers, Doodle art posters, Fimo/Sculpy clay, Beading supplies, Coloring and Activity books, Sketch books, Puffy paints, Play Doh, Art Paper, Notepads, Pencils, Books, Paint Brushes, Glue and Paste, Safety Scissors, Dolls and Stuffed Animal Kits, Other toys and games are welcome too.

CAN WE USE OUR OWN PATTERNS?

Yes.

WHERE DO I SEND THE DONATED KNITTED, CROCHETED, OR SEWN ITEMS?

Any children's hospital or shelter would be great, but soon we will list other places here too.

CAN'T SEW OR KNIT?

Are you uncomfortable with the idea of sewing or knitting, no matter how easy the
pattern? There is one bag below that is made out of foam...there is no sewing involved at all. Check it out.

OR

You can Purchase Paint Cotton Tote Bags - You can Purchase Cotton Tote Bags and Paint them with Fabric Paint. They are sold here for as low as $.60 per peice.

OR

You can Paint a Small Mural on Predrawn Canvas

OR

It would be wonderful if you could make homemade cards to put in the bags to the children. This could help cheer up a lonely or sad child.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE IN YOUR HEART

(All items used to make craft items for sick children must be in new condition as they need to be germ-free - Thank you!)
