Charity Sewing: Creature Comforts

Sewing for Shelter Pets: 4th Wednesday of each month
Join host Ania and our group of volunteers to help make blankets/quilts for our furry friends at Animal Humane.
We need volunteers to cut fabric, sew, bind, etc. If you plan to sew, please bring your own machine.

Not able to make it to the sew-ins but still want to help? Donations of supplies are greatly appreciated including: fleece (we'll take remnants, too!), flannel, quilt cotton, thread... all the usual supplies! :)

Measurement guidelines for Animal Humane blankets ("finished"):

CATS: Large - 28"x28" ; Small - 22"x22" - Batting OK
DOGS: Large - 26"x40"; Small - 20"x30" - No batting allowed
*Batting/stuffing is only allowed in CAT BLANKET sizes. Please do NOT use batting in dog blanket sizes. No "tied" fleece blankets.

*Instead of batting/stuffing for blankets, you may include a middle layer that consists of a single piece of fleece, quilt cotton, flannel or a clean, new or gently -used towel, or alternatively, pre-quilted fabric (such as you might purchase by the yard to cut to size for sewing/craft projects). This is an excellent opportunity to upcycle old but clean cotton/flannel sheets or towels that still have some usable life left in them, but we cannot use mattress pads inside blankets. Unfortunately, we cannot accept "tied" fleece blankets, because they tempt the animals to chew.
