Pet Bed Project

Don't forget to collect any small scraps from your cutting table. Use them to stuff pet beds for our local no kill shelter.  Scraps of fabric can be put into an old pillowcase or something you have made from your fabric stash.  Fill the case loosely then sew end shut. Bring it to our Monthly meeting for our Charity committee to take to the shelter

Pillowcases in COTTON or FLANNEL are delivered to Children at the Local Hospitals and for Child Haven. The pattern is available here: Burrito Pillow Case. Bring the washed and ironed pillowcase in a plastic gallon bag to the Monthly meeting
