I emailed Maya of Maya Made, who designed the pattern to let her know about it. And in return, she posted this lovely post about how happy it made her feel to see her pattern used to make a stack of 20 gowns. And she and I got all mushy exchanging emails and talking about Craft Hope.So in keeping with the touchy-feeling spirit, I thought we should give something back to YOU.
How about TWO copies of the Craft Hope book?! Hooray!
As I've posted about here and here, the book is beautiful. It's filled with 32 project ideas from a variety of sewing/craft designers. And there's an even broader range of charities listed who are in need of those very project items.
The book makes it easy to get together with friends, pick a project, and send the finished items out. I'm in love with these very simple newborn caps from Soule Mama:

Growing up my Grandma had a quilting group at church where they would sew quilts for poor families around the world. I loved sitting down on the living room floor and helping her arrange quilt blocks. Most of the fabric was donated and very very mismatched. I always had fun trying to figure out ways to make the fabrics match just so. This book looks very cool. I've been thinking about starting to sew for a cause lately. I hope I win! Thanks for the chance!!
I'd love to win!
Thanks Jana
