Sitting beside the fire on a cold winters day
Thinking about the "Hottie Project"
I decided to 'test' the hottie pattern and stitch up a hottie cover for an upcoming birthday
Using an opshopped woollen blanket and my Sublime Stichery book
An hour later I had the sweetest wee gift
This was such a fun easy project to do I plan on making many more for gifts and of course supporting the "Hottie Project"
With your help, Lisa from Big Little is hoping we can all help make winter a little cosier and warmer for a bunch of lovely children by creating a BIG stack of lovely warm hottie covers to distribute to Christchurch children for winter.
Create a hottie cover! Sew, crochet, knit, embroider - whatever takes your fancy! The key here is keeping children warm, so your hottie cover doesn't need to be super fancy, just lovely and cuddly and something you would love to keep your children warm.
- If you need a free template/pattern you can contact Lisa at thebiglittleshop@gmail.com
- Post your finished hottie cover to post to:
The Hottie Project
PO Box 80161,
Green Bay 0643
Auckland
- Donate woollen blankets to be made into hotties by someone else to postal address above or contact Lisa at thebiglittleshop@gmail.com for pickup within some areas of Auckland.
- Make a $5 or $10 cash donation via paypal to thebiglittleshop@gmail.com using the reference " the Hottie Project" which will be used to purchase the actual hot water bottles at $5 each.
- Promote the project on your blog and facebook. Share the button above. Use hashtag #hottieproject on instagram and twitter.
