Vintage sewing patterns for sale!

My sister has been busy sorting through all her old patterns she has acquired over the years, and has been uploading them to the Beckybean Etsy shop to support THE HANDMADE HELP BUSHFIRE APPEAL . These funds are currently providing direct assistance to survivors and wildlife affected by the fire storms in Victoria Australia through the RED CROSS and WILDLIFE VICTORIA. All of the monies raised from the sales of the patterns is being donated, so now's the time if you're feeling it's time to make a new dress, or an outfit for your little one/s. They are up there pretty cheap (US$4 and free postage within Australia!) and go for way more on sites like ebay etc. So get sewing and support a well-worthy cause :D

Donations for Handmade Help

It's still difficult to fathom the extent of the destruction currently happening in Victoria right now and how the lives of so many people will be affected forever. In response to these horrific bushfires, the proceeds from the sales of two of our bags 'Eco Market Tote - Jaffa' and 'Clip-Clap reversible handbag' will be donated to the Handmade Help Fund to help bushfire survivors. EDITED: This has now SOLDEDITED: This has now SOLD
As mentioned in a previous post, this market tote was made by me and was recently listed on the front page of Etsy, and the reversible was made by Bec and recently featured on the Cuteable website. The Handmade Help site has been set up by Cindy at Bugandpop and will keep tabs on all the auctions and sales for the fund.

There are so many wonderful people doing their bit to help. I strongly recommend a visit to some of these great sites to see how you can get involved.
