Bit of a strange name but it is a charity that I have become involved in. I went alobg to a meeting/gathering and the founder happened to be there that day.
She is a retired police officer and she was cutting up her uniforms after retirement when she had a lightbulb moment. The fabric could be used to make kids clothes. Uniforms esp of police officers need to disposed of properly to avoid being used improperly.
Badges and insigina must be removed but the materials can be used. I came home with two police shirts to use for clothing, supposed to be 50% but a frill, pockets etc is acceptable.
A largèr sized dress using the button up plackard, saved me doing buttons and pockets.
Pillow case dresses with added frills
Shorts with pockets
Also made draw string bags. These will be used either as laundry bags or filked with goodies for disadvantaged kids.
The clothes are sizes 2 to ten.
The group mets every second week for a couple of hours, I have been to two get togethers now and each time I have helped stuff toys. One member takes the T-shirt fabric and makes soft toys. First lot were small bears with Hug me written them. This weeks were white snowmen with embrodered faces.
I came home with red and green fabric with a request for Christmas stockings
