The Sew Busy Cutups (Mondays from 9 a.m. until noon) and the Sew & Sews (Tuesdays from 9:30 a.m. until noon) have been busy sewing for needy children in Room 4 of SaddleBrooke One’s Craft Center. So far, we have handed out cute, huggable stuffed animals to 95 children. We have 50 on hand and are still producing more. Some have gone to the Pinal Sheriff’s Department, the Children’s Center, More Than A Bed (to support foster children), Casa Alitas Migrant Center, and IMPACT of Southern Arizona. We are contacting other organizations that may need our stuffed animals as well.
We can always use more help to sew and/or stuff the animals. We can also use one yard or more of fleece or flannel fabric. Donations of polyester stuffing are appreciated, too. If you don’t sew but would like to help, we can give you the patterns and material to cut out the patterns for the animals. You can pick up supplies on Monday or Tuesday mornings and sew or cut material at home if you cannot stay and sew with us. We have sewing machines and everything needed in Room 4.
If you know of other places that might like to receive these huggable toys, please let us know. We are sure happy children will thank you.
The contact person is Judy Hans at 520-818-3285 or Claudia Hermansen at 520-241-5047 (text only).
