Offcut Scarves for Charity

Everyday, we cut lots of wonderful onesie creations, leaving us with leftover materials. We’ve come up with an environmentally friendly solution of disposing our offcuts (that also has a positive impact on our local community)- and that is by by not disposing them at all… Each time we’ve created a onesie, we place the left over material in a scrap bag. We fill up our scrap bags until the are bursting with lots of our fabric in a range of colours and patterns! The best part? You can now buy a bag for yourself! You’re able to use our off cut fabrics to make your very own off cut creations! You can choose what size bag you’d like; small, medium, or large….

We even donate our offcuts to schools and charities free of charge in exchange for photographs of all your fab creations! Our bags of offcuts have already gone to a number of good homes, including Goosehill County First School, Chantry Middle and King Edward VIl schools in Morpeth;  West Sleekburn Middle School, Ringway First School, Bedlington High School, The Dales School in Blyth, Grove Special School in Berwick, Blyth Community College, Ellington and Linton First Schools, the William Leech Campus in Lynemouth, Bothal and Hirst Park Middle schools in Ashington, John Ambulance Day Care Centre in Ashington, Chester Court Care Home, Bedlington,  Pots and Pancakes, The People’s Animal Rescue and Re-homing Team in Amble, PAWS (People’s Animal Welfare Service) in Bedlington and Northern English Springer Spaniel Rescue in Red Row – and many, many more!  

Recently, we donated a bag of our offcuts to the lovely Bev, who is making scarves for the children helped by the Shoe Box Appeal.

'Well on the way to my 500 scarf target, with fabric donated from yourselves, these scarves will go to children who are helped by the shoe box appeal, for which I am a checker and packer and regularly give to this charity.  Thank you for allowing me to take these pieces of fabric for free and helping this worthwhile charity.
