Sweatpants or sweatshirts for DIY project needed
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!
Shocking anti-Māori propaganda posted in mailboxes
I am a Māori and today I found some shocking anti-Māori propaganda which had been obviously hand delivered into my mailbox. It was a call to action and as the neice of the late Moana Jackson and Syd Jackson, two intelligent and educated Māori leaders I am appalled to think that someone in my Island Bay neighbourhood is helping to spread these hateful messages.
