Crafters For Saoirse

Please support my crafting challenge for Saoirse Domestic Violence Services

I'm raising funds for Saoirse Domestic Violence Services. This cause matters deeply to me – and I’d be so grateful if you could donate.

Saoirse is a charity close to my heart that helps women and children escape domestic violence.

All funds raised support Saoirse's life-saving and life-changing services – including refuge accommodation, 24/7 helpline, counselling, and children's services.

I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Thank you for supporting me and supporting Saoirse.

And so it starts!

The beginnings of the cat. Guess what part this is going to be??? No, not the paws... It's a face. Or so the instruction says!

Inspiration

That's Gonya, the Smurfcat - inspiration behind the project. Often found asleep in most unexpected places.

Iryna's message

Sunday 10th May
Thank you for supporting my fundraiser. All donations will go directly to help women escaping domestic violence.


For the Crafters for Saoirse challenge I will be making two different items - a scarf and a soft toy cat.  Once finished, I will raffle both items. Everyone, who donates will be included in a raffle. 

 Any amount is appreciated! 


I picked a popular Sofie pattern for a scarf -  a beautiful  and practical piece. Something that will make one long for colder days to have an excuse to wear it. 

The cat - a fun project inspired by Gonya, the Smurfcat that roams freely my workplace  corridors to the annoyance of the café staff and the delight of everyone else!

The patterns are ready so I'm selecting yarn for them before setting off. 

The aim is to have both finished by 30th May. 

I will add photos of my progress here in the next three weeks.  Visit to see the progress!

Thank you to my donors
