Free doll skirt patterns

YouCanMakeThis.com is once again offering free doll skirt patterns as a way to help with charity sewing. The Toys for Tots programs was started with one woman who handcrafted a doll and couldn't find a place to donate it.

These doll skirts are another great way to use up small cotton scraps!

Project Linus

Project Linus is a wonderful organization that makes blankets as comfort items for children. Here is part of their mission statement:

First, it is our mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need through the gifts of new, handmade blankets and afghans, lovingly created by volunteer “blanketeers.”

Save your cotton scraps and make a small quilt for a child to love on!

Knit One, Save One

Save the Children is hosting their Knit One, Save One campaign again this year. It's a great project for anyone that enjoys knitting or crocheting, or even craft groups. I sent off a hat last year with a note attached, and they sent me a postcard this year to inform me that it's that time again. Neat!
