We will be working with different divisions of Access Services at different times of the year. During the winter we helped provide warm winter items for their program for unsheltered individuals. Now they have asked us for help with their program servicing children in foster care and backpacks for their street outreach program. 

​

​

1) Snuggle Blankets -   

• These can be sewn, knit, crochet or no-sew fleece.

• We are looking for 3 sizes:

  • Receiving 40”x40”

  • Crib: 42”x52” (approximately width of fabric x 52”)

  • Lapghan 36x48” (PREFERRED)

• If sewing, please avoid using fabrics that use words mom, dad or family. These blankets are not for babies or toddlers, primarily for kids ages 5-12. 

• Check out our board on Pinterest for lots of ideas for all crafting methods: https://www.pinterest.com/crafting_change/snuggle-blankets/

​

2) Adult sized drawstring backpacks - Sewn drawstring backpacks for their street mission. These can be made in a variety of fabrics. This location requests canvas, denim, upholstery, duck, etc but not quilting cotton. Please watch our video tutorials for choosing fabric and cording along with our video for sewing it put together by sewing advisor Kathy Lawrence. 

​

3) Warm Winter Hats from your ADDI!  - Addi Machine Double Thick hats have been requested again. They want to get an early start collecting their warm winter hats so they can hit the ground running when the weather turns cold. This location is ONLY collecting hats made on the Addi knitting machine that are double walled.

• They request darker colors as these hats will be distributed to unsheltered persons.

• We recommend 120-140 rows on your Addi depending on your yarn and tension. 

• They need them for primarily men, so please make them in larger sizes.

• Yarns: Acrylic (4) or washable wool. ​
