Random Acts of Kindness Day: The Sewing Edition

How will you be celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Day?  Here are some sewing related ideas.  

1. Sew scarves and hats for those staying in homeless shelters.  I prefer using recycled wool sweaters for this sort of project since wool is way warmer against the elements.   
   
   
   
2. Sew scrub caps for health care workers. The link to this pattern was supplied to me from a healthcare nurse.  Appreciated are added buttons to the sides to help hold up their face masks.   
   
   
   
3. Sew knickers for those staying in homeless shelters. We often forget about the undergarments when putting together clothing donations.    
   
   
   
4. Sew stuffed animals for sick children.  
   
   
   
5. Sew snuggle beds to donate to animal shelters.
