Baseco Giveaway!!

The fundraising for Baseco through the sale of Dawn's Mahal Kita Tote pattern this week has been fantastic!!
Knowing that every $4 earned through the sale of these patterns will go towards changing the life of a people who are born and die on the mound of a rubbish dump in Manila is astounding. 

Remember my version of the bag?
Well, I found more beautiful fabrics to make another bag, so along with Dawn and her friend Khris I am donating a fully cut kit in the Baseco Mahal Kita giveaway on our Gum Trees Blog!
The fabrics are Lila Tueller's 'Woodland Bloom', and the kit contains everything you'll need (apart from wadding) to make a Baseco bag! Don't those fabrics look yummy!!?
Go HERE to our Gum Tree Designers blog and read about the 5 kits Dawn is giving away this month! To be eligible to win one of these kits all you need do is purchase the $4 pattern for the bag!

Everyone who has already purchased a pattern from Dawn will be entered in the giveaway draw as well - just go and leave a comment on the blog post at Among The Gum Trees!

It only takes many people with a few dollars - the cost of a cappucino! - to make a difference to an entire community! 
Please blog about this awesome giveaway. Even if you don't buy a pattern, you  can still spread the word.

Dawn's Baseco Bag

My dear friend Dawn, another of our Gum Tree Designers, has designed a bag to raise funds for the people of Baseco, a people who spend their entire lives living on a rubbish dump. They live a life that we cannot imagine.
It's a beautiful bag, something you can use for a multitude of purposes. Visit Dawn's blog HERE to learn more about her fundraising, and please consider buying the pattern (just $4 US)...all proceeds go to Baseco.

Freely give.
Freely love.
Freely share hope. 
Just $4.

Hugs
