Are you a crafty-type? if it’s a’ yes’ then we have a challenge for you!
SEND US YOUR SOFTIES!!
We are asking for people send us a homemade softie to be sold at our ecofest.
Money from the softies will go towards water tanks for the church, cutting down on the community’s water useage.
Spread the word, invite your friends, and get sewing.
The what’s and how’s….
Your beautiful softies should;
-be sent to “Ecofest at Western Heights, 27-31 Douglass St, Herne Hill, Geelong, 3218″ by the end of September.
-include some sort of upcycled/repurposed materials
- be clean and ready to go to a new home
participants will receive a small thankyou gift in response to their generous donation, along with a badge for your blog that says “i made a softie for ecofest!”
(you’ll need to include your postage address and an email address with your softie)
And if you are in Geelong, come along on Saturday the 9th of October and check out everyone’s creations.
What’s upcycling?
upcycling is the creative goodness of taking something that has been used before and creating something new and wonderful with it.
a wikipedia definition here
You might find some vintage fabric in an op shop and bring it together with some other materials to make a new skirt, or you may felt a jumper and make gloves, toys or a cape from it!
