However, I have contacted a wonderful New Zealand charity named Little Sprouts who are in desperate need of baby items. More information about them is on their website: </span>http://littlesproutsnz.org<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Some of the items they require are photographed below and I will add some more items throughout the year. Free kits of precut fabric and instructions can be posted out anytime during the year and all ages are welcome to sew these easy and much needed items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So if you enjoy sewing and would love to make a difference to people in need, drop me a line at <b>info@makeadifference.org.nz</b></span><br />

They include making a hooded towel, burp cloths and flannels. The tutorial and tips can be found on these links. I haven't quite completed the hooded towel yet so photo coming sorry.</span><br />

The press studs are put on once I receive them back.</span><br />

These have already had their crotch and leg seams overlocked so only need the bottom leg seams and waistband done and elastic threaded through. There are stretch sewing.</span><br />

They just require straight seams to sew up (turn back inside out) and sew up and then two straight lines for the fold lines. I have used a thin plastic for one side which does move around a wee bit but if it's a problem let me know and I can easily change it to calico cotton.</span><br />

These are a little bit more fiddlier but still relatively easy to make. They require sewing the ears and a pocket onto the body and then sewing and stuffing it with a bell placed inside. Care needs to be made that the seams are securely sewn so the bell can't come out as a choking hazard. Then some simple embrodiery for the nose, eyes and mouth.</span><br />

These have already been overlocked so all that is needed is to stretch sew the headbands and tie the top knot. These are simple to sew if you don't mind stretch sewing. If you are really fancy you can always use a double needle for a professional look.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So want to make a difference in the world but aren't related to Mother Teresa? It's ...something small that makes a HUGE difference. If you are keen on sewing simple children's clothing or items contact info@makeadifference.org.nz. You will be provided with a free kit of material pre-cut into pattern pieces for easy children's clothing (and often pre-overlocked so there are only a few seams to do). With the wonderful help of Global Volunteer Network www.gvnfoundation.org.nz the items will be distributed to children in projects and orphanages around the world. This little act of kindness makes a HUGE difference to their lives...so </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">make</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">a difference.

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These are soft little toys with a bell inside. They are fairly easy to sew but a little bit more fiddlier and just need their ears sewn and turned right side out and onto the body along with a pocket and some simple embroidered nose, eyes and mouth.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There are always cotton skirts to sew. These are great for girls of all ages as even the older girls can wear them as mini skirts with leggings underneath. They require only the waist seam to be sewn and it's optional if you want to top stitch where the patterned fabric has been added. These are nice and simple to sew and I have had several teenage girls sewing these before.</span>Make A Differencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03519453702150134483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765739651495012213.post-32848604535680232052015-04-01T17:34:00.000-07:002015-04-01T02:10:50.362-07:00<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There are always cotton leggings to be sewn.

These are very easy requiring a few straight seams then a seam all the way round. Cord is a little bit thicker so it sometimes help to use a denim needle but isn't always necessary.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Eliza from Global Volunteer Foundation returned from South Africa in September after handing out skirts and shorts to many children in need from the Kliptown Youth Program. The skirts and shorts proved very successful with modified simpler patterns which made them easy to cut and required very little sewing after a quick whiz on the overlocker. The skirts covered a wide range of sizes as older girls were happy to wear them as mini skirts. You can check out more about the Kliptown Youth Program and the amazing work being done there by following this link. They have also been making a documentary about their gumboot dancers which you can watch the trailer for. Amazing stuff! </span><a href="http://www.kliptownyouthprogram.org.za/" style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-indent: -24px;">http://www.kliptownyouthprogram.org.za/</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-indent: -24px;"> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The Peru project is up and running and will be completed by July 2013. The first part is to provide 29 girls in a children's home in Sacred Valley in Peru with warm, merino dresses.
The second part is to provide merino trousers and hats for a community centre "Tombola" on the outskirts of Cusco. Each child in the community wins an article of clothing. The third part is to provide merino newborn hats and cotton cocoon sleepsacks for a maternity hospital. If you would be interested in contributing your time to sew these articles please email info@makeadifference.org.nz</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Thanks so much for all the wonderful sewing done for Uganda. As you can see it was appreciated. Many more dresses and shorts were distributed to various groups, families and schools that were in need. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">One hundred plus items of clothing are currently being completed by wonderful volunteers around the world from America, Australia and New Zealand for the Uganda Project. Simple tops, shorts and drawstring dresses have been cut, overlocked and finally sewn by kind sewing enthusiasts and will soon be ready to distribute to a poor community in Uganda. Earlier in 2012 Global Volunteer Founder Colin Salisbury took samples of the clothing to the community to test for sizing. This project is in its final stages and once all items are completed they will be hand delivered by Global Volunteer Network in May 2013.</span><br />
