Pillows for children
I am new to the site, but sewing for me has been a joy and something I can
do without deadlines as I am homebound because of ME/CFS for many years. Why I am writing is because I make small travel-size pillows with pillowcases for children who come to an Advocacy Center here in the Prescott AZ area. These are children in crisis, but this is the middle-step place, not the domestic shelter. They come in because of abuse or unstable homes. When they come, they can select one of the pillows which is theirs to keep. I try to make as many as I can for them. Why I am writing is fabric. I use what I have, and my hope is that if you have a half yard of some fabric that a child would like (nature, children's characters, etc.) and you don't need it, would you consider sharing it? The last ones I made had "sixties" symbols, fairytale castles, Disney CARS (movie), AZ Diamondbacks -- everything I can find. The Center tells me these are very good for the children. I hope so. I will continue making the pillows as much as I can. I know the joy of these little travel-size pillows (I was given one during some harder days). Thank you for reading this.
