Materials needed to create beautiful children´s Ecobrick seats

Georgina from Karamu - Waipatu

Does anyone have any upholstery and/or thicker fabrics, old duvet inners or similar that can be washed and used for padding, also calico or similar fabric, plus buttons of various sizes and colours but the larger the better. Reels of cotton are always useful as well.
All materials will be used to create a variety of covers for Ecobricks modules - a little bit like small ottomans. Please drop in to Heretaunga Women's Centre or contact me for pick up. The materials will be used to create beautiful children´s Eco seats for the Centre’s nursery. This is the conclusion session of the first Ecobrick Community Project in Hawke´s Bay. Contact me or the centre for more information about the workshop.
