I’ve teamed up with the wonderful to run a Crafternoon this Sunday January 11th to make items needed by the / for their ongoing battle to help animals injured in the Bushfire crisis.
We will be sewing Joey Pouches to be donated and would love your help! You don’t need to be a seamstress, there will be patterns to cut, fabric to sort and boxes to pack for shipping if sewing isn’t your thing. I’ll be giving quick sewing lessons too if your skills are a bit dusty and you’d like to jump back on the machine!
We are also taking donations of supplies needed to make the pouches and other items the Animal Rescue Collective are in need of. These are listed below. We will need volunteers to pack and sort these donations!
Miss Jay’s are also offering manicures and pedicures for donations over $20 with proceeds going to and
Please call the salon to book an appointment as there are limited spots available.
667 High Street Thornbury 11am-5pm.
Come down and help in whatever way you can. Community is more important than ever right now 💖
Craft Supplies:
* 100% natural fabrics for pouch lining- cotton, bamboo and linen. Preferably flannelette or stretchy tshirt fabric. Must not be pilling as this causes a choking risk. Fabric breathability and softness is a priority.
* Fabric for outer pouches- fleece, cotton, wool, polyester, poly cotton, terry cloth, synthetics.
* Cotton thread for sewing machines.
Each pouch needs 2-3 liners, so these fabrics are required the most.
We would also love to borrow fabric scissors, sturdy trestle tables and chairs. These items will be returned to you or you can bring your own scissors for personal use.
The Animal Rescue Collective are also seeking donations of the following items which we will be collecting on Sunday:
* Towels, sheets and blankets.
* Pet bowls.
* NEW litter trays, used as water basins for small animals.
* Animal feeding bottles and teats.
* Domestic Animal Food.
* Hanging baskets/planters, wire with coir.
* Coffee.
* Micro Porous Tape.
* Non adhesive dressings (like Melolin).
* Soffban.
