Sweatpants or sweatshirts for DIY project needed

Maria from Lyall Bay

Dear neighbours, I am looking for some sweatpants/shirts for my DIY project - pouf from recycled fabric.

In total, I need probably 10-12 pieces in children size or 5-6 in adult size.

I am cutting the clothing, making 'yarn' for crocheting, so wear and tear is not a concern at all.

Children are especially good at tearing their sweatpants, so, maybe, you have some of those? Not good enough for donating because of holes in them, not good enough for rugs because they have too much synthetic fibre in it? I'll be glad to save them from the landfill.

I started the project because my son was tearing his sweatpants way too fast - but looks like one child-destroyer is not enough to produce enough pants-yarn.

Thanks!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
