Blankets for Good

Growing up as a child, did you ever cling to a security blanket when you were feeling scared, nervous, or just wanting to cuddle up on the couch? Imagine going through some of those challenging times without the blanket that gave you comfort and strength. With fabric as our main resource at our headquarters, Spoonflower employees have the opportunity to help provide those blankets for children (and adults) to share a little extra strength when it’s needed most with Blankets for Good.

Busy employees donate their time and sewing skills to help make blankets for the local community. 

Blankets for Good is a quarterly employee sew-in and uses returned marketplace fabric (don't worry, we will never use your private fabrics!) to make blankets to donate to local and international charities. The Spoonflower Greenhouse hosts charitable sew-­ins for local community members to attend but Spoonflower employees were also eager to share their sewing abilities for a greater cause. With the help of the sustainability committee, a group that meets periodically to discuss ways to be more environmentally friendly and community-driven, Blankets for Good was born!
