From Darci:
Our North Carolina fall is finally here and I’m starting to think about holiday projects. Here at Spoonflower we prepare to put our crafty hands to work for our own family and friends and wouldn’t it be lovely to share some of the handmade goodness with kids in need.
One of our favorite Spoonflower designers, SammyK, brought our attention to the Mirabel Foundation, a children’s charity based in Australia, that accepts handmade soft toys to donate to Mirabel children in their annual Softies for Mirabel drive. 
As encouragement for the Spoonflower community to get involved we are hosting a giveaway of 15 cut and sew plushie patterns with hopes that the winners will sew up the toys then send them to back us so we can ship the lot on to Melbourne.
Enter by Tuesday October 25th 12:00 PM EST and the winners will be announced on Wednesday, October 26th. Please return completed projects to Spoonflower by Wednesday November 23rd.
Not a winner? Don’t fret, we hope this giveaway will serve as inspiration for everyone to get involved! Let’s put our needles and thread to fabric and create special gifts that the kids will cherish. Keep up with the drive details here to find out when and where to send handmade toys of your own.
