MANZINI – trustees of the Manzini Youth Project provided tuition, materials and guidance for the girls to cut and prepare the several layers needed to stitch together to make re-usable sanitary protection for the students in Manzini, ensuring they can attend school during menstruation.

Re-usable sanitary protection and some have ‘wings’! We all should be using these.
Templates for different sized pads are used with 100% cotton.
So we need 44 of these!

Harbour – the aim for our working day was to make cotton bags for the mothers and children of HARBOUR, a local refuge. They will later be filled with toiletries and treats.

….and off we go – how many bags for Harbour can we make out of a king-size duvet cover?
Measuring for cotton bags for Harbour – to be filled with toiletries and a few treats.
Everyone loves a dinosaur – fabric is a king-size duvet cover. The bags can then be used for the children to take PE kit to school.
It’s very mathematical!
Concentrated accuracy.
Totally in control.
