Here are the first 64 patchwork blocks all sewn together! These patchwork blocks are being pieced together to create a lasting textile memorial of the Pandemic that represents the multitude of experiences within Parliament whilst also demonstrating unity through a single quilt.
🎺Announcement 🎺oup founder,@marcieporteous, has been invited to the Queen’s Garden Party in recognition of her charity work. 2 years ago Marcie gathered a team of volunteers, helping the NHS by making & distributing scrubs. Work continues with local charities.Congratulations!
We are providing hats & scarves for SAIF Homes until the end of February. The weather is still cold and the SAIF residents need all the support they can get to leave homelessness for good. Thank you to our knitting volunteers - these items are so needed & appreciated!🧶
Our lovely team of volunteers have been busy🧶🪡 One of the local charities to benefit is Acorns children's hospice in Selly Oak and we received a letter of 'thanks' for the bibs we recently sent. @AcornsHospice #sewing #volunteers
Here's a fabulous idea to use some of your scraps. Get a frame from a hobby or craft shop, and tie your scraps onto it. I love the creativity shown by our volunteers Kirsty and Emily, do check her out at #scrapbusting @singularly_stitched.
These are wonderful! Which one is your favourite? These beautiful teddies have been crafted by Colette👏 who volunteers with us. These animals have been dispatched in one of the #bagsofhope which will be given out to vulnerable children in our community by the @higginsfamily5
And that's a wrap! Thanks to our dedicated volunteers, we have provided over 400 gift bags to our wonderful charity partner @thehigginsfamily5 We have been helped in our task by a group of ladies who attend Ladies Day at Christchurch in Sparkbrook. Thank you to everyone involved
Thank you Alison! She has done a fabulous job leading one of our teams. Sadly she has stepped down as Team Leader but is staying on as a volunteer! She will continue sewing with us and volunteering to make a difference in our community.
It's always great delivering our charity makes to our Charity Partners. David @babyaidbirmingham is always so happy to receive our MorsBags, look at that smile! His charity continue to need our bags as they are filled and sent out very quickly. Would you like to help sew bags?
Look at these Christmas bags for @thehigginsfamily5 ! A repurposed and donated fabric has been used here. We are getting closer to our target but we do need all the help we can get, so do get in touch if you can sew and make some bags too
We have made 30 sets of hats & scarves for one house run by our partner SAIF Homes, Social & Health Care Homes Ltd. We are now half-way though this project.
Can you help us reach our target of 300? Please get in touch 🪡🧶#knittingforcharity
Just a reminder that we used to be called @brumscrubs We changed names a while ago. If you followed #brumscrubs and wondered why we had been so quiet, that's because you need to follow us @sew_marvellous Do get in touch if you would like to sew, knit or crochet for charity.
Our volunteers have been making these Christmas gift bags for our partner charity @higginsfamily5. These bags will be used to deliver presents to vulnerable children in the Birmingham area. We are working hard to reach our target of 700 bags by end of November. Can you help?
It is so good to see that what we do @sewmarvellous makes a difference. We recently delivered #Morsbags to Women's Aid. Emma Coleman from the charity was very thankful and sent us the following feedback: "The Morsbags have been so helpful for us and really brighten up our day. ➡️

Thank you so much to @Sew_Marvellous for these sturdy handmade bags, which we will be using when supporting women with welcome packs and food. 💜
Look at these handy sets! Our wonderful Sue has prepared these ready to sew kits for our volunteers to make gifts bags for @higginsfamily5. These lovely handmade gift bags will be used for presents for vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Do you like sewing and like to help us?
After endless support and fabulous organisation skills, Sue stepped down from her role of Team Leader. We are all so grateful for all that Sue has given us. She has been a fantastic team Leader. To show our gratitude, we came together and made her a Sew Marvellous gifts🪡🎁
Our current projects: school uniform repairs, Christmas gift bags, face coverings, drip bags for NHS, cat carrier covers for the RSPCA and Morsbags for BAB. We could really do with some more morsbags if you are looking for something to sew! Please get in touch if you can help
We made our first delivery of cat carrier covers & mats to @RSPCABirmingham this week. Charlotte at the RSPCA made 40 herself but we hope to help by making regular deliveries from now on. These covers help improve the welfare for animals at the RSPCA. Can you help make these? 🐈
