Sewing for Charity http://snugglesproject.org/ - Free Crochet, knitting, Quilting, and Sewing Patterns for Snuggles Projects - Create a security blanket for the innocent victims in animal shelters. The security blankets are called "Snuggles." Each animal would get a Snuggle to cuddle up with to feel warmth and comfort. Most shelter animals are kept in areas with stainless steel braces and hard plastic flooring or even bare concrete floors. The Snuggles would allow them to have a little reprieve from the coldness of the pen they are kept in. "Snuggles." not only give physical comfort but psychological comfort as well. And not only for the animals - the tens of thousands of kind-hearted people around the world who make them for the animals receive so much satisfaction from their work as well. Many have experienced the thrill of getting their friends, their family, their school or camp children, the elderly in their community involved in the Snuggles Project. The wonder of the Snuggles Project is how it bridges generation gaps and opens doors to community involvement.
