Mama to Mama - Upcycling for a Cause
If you do any type of crafting at all, you are going to want to check out the new Mama to Mama blog. The idea is to bring together crafty people to do good for others. The current project is making jersey newborn caps. You could make these from new, knitted material. Or, you could make them from old t-shirts (the softer the better). The caps will be sent to Haiti for safe birthing kits. There is also a pattern for receiving blankets that can be sent as well.
I think this is a great opportunity for giving back in the midst of your normal crafting plans. I come from a family of quilters and my Mom and my Aunt make many many quilts for babies in need and wounded soldiers. I can barely keep my attention focused for long enough to make a quilt, much less make many to give away. But a baby cap? I can do that. And I can probably make a whole lot of them from our drawer of t-shirts.
