Description
Many times, life does not go the way we plan it. To help those who have lost a little one, I have partnered with the Relief Crafters of America to design these pouches. They can be a beautiful alternative when clothes are often not small enough to fit the one they’ve lost. This pattern has 6 different sizes and can be modified by adding different edging to the hood or using different ribbons to tie the pouch closed.
Relief Crafters of America (RCoA) is a volunteer-run group that serves to identify humans or animals in need and then direct our handcrafted fiber products to these groups to provide support. They can be found on Facebook and email Reliefcraftersofamerica@gmail.com.
