What can I use?
Please use new or clean repurposed materials. We are making special toys for children in need.

Flutterby Butterfly

I've been making butterflies. Lovely for girls, now to make some 'boy' toys too. Good thing it's too hot to go outside, I can spend the day at the sewing machine...under the fan!

Welcome to Sew Cuddly!

Hello and welcome to Sew Cuddly!

We are Yvette (from Sew Beautiful in Springwood, NSW) and Liz (a stay-at-home-mum) and we have joined together to create Sew Cuddly.

Sew Cuddly is our response to the tragic events in South East Queensland this January. As mothers of small children, we understand the importance that special toys hold for children. Cuddlies, blankies, bed friends, loveys, call them what you will, these are things that children love. We hope to give the children affected by these floods a little bit of handmade joy and someone or something special to hold onto in these stressful times.

Perhaps you are an experienced sewist, perhaps you have made many wonderful things, or maybe this is your first foray into handcrafts... Whoever you are and whatever your medium, we need your help! You can help us by making, sewing, knitting, crocheting, felting, or quilting a toy, blankie or snuggly and delivering or mailing it to;
   Sew Cuddly
   c/o- Sew Beautiful
   1/121 Macquarie Road
   Springwood NSW 2777

At the moment we looking to donate to the children of the Grantham/Toowoomba region and we are hoping to arrange distribution through Lions Club.

Please spread the word by sharing this with your friends. Let's put some smiles on lots and lots of little faces!
