I'm planning a series of craft stalls to raise money for various projects including <a href="http://www.thea21campaign.org/" target="_blank">The A21 Campaign</a>, my local mum's group and <a href="http://www.babymum.org.au/" target="_blank">Babymum Australia</a>. The first will be on Friday 24th of May and most items will be jewellery and a clutch or two. Depending on how much I can get done, I may also do a range of simple totes, reusable baby wipes and aprons.JucieLuciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07058689100818724880noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738907797512030014.post-69960411002594817272011-06-04T21:58:00.000-07:002011-06-04T21:58:53.838-07:00Support for the A21 CampaignThe purpose behind the design and sale of JucieLucie products is to support the work of the A21 Campaign - a fight against injustice in the 21st century. I will be donating 50% of the profits of everything I sell. I would like it to be more but I think I'll be needing to replace my sewing machine soon, so I guess I should save up for that! A friend and I are also holding an event in support of A21 where ticket entry and proceeds from a silent auction will also be donated. We are calling it "Be Her Rescuer" and hope to raise awareness of this issue. <div><br />

Here are my first four designs. Two are similar; the middle panel of one is pleated (green/grey) and the other is left as a plain block (purple).<br />

The green/grey and purple bags are very roomy inside and have a laminated cardboard insert for strength and support. The green/grey bag also has four metal squares set into the handles.<br />

These two and the kimono dolls one (left) feature internal pockets, magnetic snaps and two handles.<br />

I have since made another and made it bigger which I think works better. All bags are strengthened with interfacing and fully lined with the same or coordinating fabric.JucieLuciehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07058689100818724880noreply@blogger.com4
