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.

Gathering the Core Materials

Monday 11th May
So Evie, Sophie and I have been gathering our core materials to get started. Sophie has outgrown her denim jacket so I've had to get her a new one. My denim jacket was also a bit snug so whilst in London at the weekend I bought a vintage mans denim jacket to wear as an oversized denim jacket for myself. I also picked up a second hand mans shirt to repurpose as the lining for the inside of the jacket. Brick Lane in London was amazing for patches and pins that will really help customize the jackets. I told a few of the sellers about the craftathon and they were so sweet and supportive. The girls have been going through some of their outgrown clothing and we plan to cut out some unicorns and dinosaurs from them to applique on to their denim jackets. We are having so much fun already :-)

Denim Jacket Revamp

Sunday 3rd May
Hey Everyone!!
My name is Marie and along with my two daughters Evie and Sophie who are aged 6 and 4 years we are going to be revamping and up cycling denim jackets for each of us. Think 90s and think fun and sparkly. I'm using this opportunity to raise important much needed funds for Saoirse and to introduce my two daughters to the joys of upcycling, personal customisation and sewing. We will complete this over the month of May and we are so excited to get started!
