project must-knows
1. Burrito Pillow Case- These are for all ages 5-18. All pillows are all the standard size pillow no matter the age you are making for. It is appreciated if fun fabrics are used, and kids love licensed prints like Marvel, Comic Book characters like Batman and Superman, Harry Potter, Disney.
-
The pillowcase is made from three coordinating materials. The finished size should be 20”-21” wide by 30-32” long which fits a standard pillow.
-
Please use soft, non scratchy material: woven quilter’s cotton, woven cotton blends as well as flannel. Fabric prints to avoid would be
-
ones with drugs, alcohol, weapons
-
religious, or holiday prints
-
fabric with the words mommy, daddy or family or any variant (grandma, etc.)
-
2. Knit/Crochet Soap Sacks- Please ensure your soap sacks end up being the standard size of a soap sack 4"x6". When soap is distributed it has to be in it's original packaging which is often a box. Often soap sacks are too small. You can use a 4x6 index card as a handy guide to keep in your project bag. It is a good idea to check your pattern every once in awhile to ensure you are meeting the size guidelines. Thank you.
3. Winter hats & gloves in assorted sizes; toddlers, kids, teens. These can be sewn fleece or knit/crochet. Winter is cold in Kansas, please use patterns that are warm! They need these in many sizes from toddlers to teens (which wear adult size) and it is not important for us to track what size you send as the items we send will only be part of what they receive. So send whatever size you like!
