Craft Hope Challenge - Reusable Sanitary Pads for Tina's cause

Hi, Mods! One of the things that have been happening lately in our meetings, and which make me very excited, is that we are all coming together with our skills to support different charities.

Our member Tina M. brought to us a challenge to support charities in Africa, which empower girls to pursue education by allowing them to attend class, everyday, without having to miss out because of their period.

Tina showed us some reusable sanitary pads that she made and encouraged us to help her make some more. The deadline for this request is November 15th.  If you look in Tina's post you can get all the details and instructions to make the pads.

Margaret already made some! If you want to take a look, go to her post about it.

Last Saturday, at Pins&Needles, we sewed but we also chat. A lot. Andrea M. and I were talking about how to make one or two pads you need fleece (to prevent the pad from slipping), a type of fabric we don't usually have in our stashes. That has been, honestly, what has kept me from making the pads. 

We both decided then, that it would be so easy for us to get the fleece, cut it up and bring it to our next meeting to distribute some "pad kits". Would you want to help us making them? Tina said she can do the snaps, so you would only have to provide the fabric for the top. I am going to bring some batting scraps for the filling and if you have some cotton batting scraps to contribute we can make this thing work.

So, a call to all mods for our next meeting: please bring some batting scraps (no poly) and considering bringing home some kits to help Tina and Craft Hope.

Thank you, 

Maria G
