Some final details and information for you:WHAT: A Sewcial - a gathering co-hosted by TEST & 416Hustlers, open to all, to help make hats and cowls for Toronto's homeless, for The Lennie Project
WHEN: Saturday, January 24th, 12 - 5:30 pm. Drop in any time.
WHERE: the Hurndale room (in the basement) of Eastminster Church, 310 Danforth Ave, near Chester subway station
WHAT CAN I BRING?
- We can use donations of cozy knits or polar fleece in dark neutral colours. (Technical fabric questions should be posted on the event page).
- Sewing machines, scissors, power bars, extension cords are all useful
- We will have some snacks, but snacks for sewers are also welcome! We plan some tea and cookies, so healthy stuff like fruit and water.
Yes! Not only can you help by collecting any donations you may have to offer, but we also need volunteers for cutting, sewing, welcoming volunteers, snack detail, and taking photos. Patterns are simple enough for beginners too. Anyone can help!
Other questions we've received:
Can I bring my baby and work with her in a baby carrier? Of course! (Though for insurance reasons, we cannot accommodate children. So young enough to carry or old enough to help is best.)
What's the minimum size for useful fabric scraps? Please direct fabric questions to the event page. In general, think about hats and cowls when judging sizes.
I was thinking of bringing fruit, crackers, hummus? Yes please!
Experienced sewers are particularly welcome so that we can make and donate as many hats and cowls as possible.
Please RSVP HERE!
