Be Proud! Charity Auction

The Be Proud! Charity Auction will be November 16 - 18. The event is held on Facebook HERE! This is my second year to participate. All proceeds from items being auctioned, minus PayPal fees and shipping fees, will be donated directly to one of the following charities.

Point of Pride - https://www.facebook.com/pointofpride/ Point of Pride works to support trans youth and adults who otherwise lack access through gender-affirming programs that empower them to live more authentically. Point of Pride is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Eugene, Oregon that serves the international transgender community. They are entirely volunteer-operated.

The Trevor Project - https://www.facebook.com/TheTrevorProject/Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award®-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people ages 13-24.

I received fabric from two amazing Fabric Groups to sew and donate my items to the auction.

First, I want to show you what I made for Sew Big Fabrics.

This is the Elle Puls Bethouia. It's a very unique raglan and I feel like raglans are a pretty unisex clothing item. This one has straight sides - so no curvieness for the female figure.

This is the Gender Fluid Adult panel and the coordinating print Heart Flags (half scale). I added a few inches to  the length of this top.

I just love the back of the Bethouia. It adds an interesting element to an otherwise plain back.

I made a straight european size 40 for the auction. I normally grade this pattern out for my hips, but I'm kinda liking it fitted in my hips.

Here's a closer view of the back.

I used the scraps to make a pair of womens undies.

I used the child sized gender fluid panel for the back of the undies.

Here's a look at the prints and panels that are being offered at Sew Big Fabrics. The Preorder is open from November 12 - 24th.

Fabric Anthropology also sent me fabric. Their preorder is open November 10 - 24.

I made the Love Notions Tidal Top and Dress for the All for Love panel. This was a kids sized panel.

I love the relaxed fit of the Tidal Top and how the back piece wraps around to the front.

The back is a soft and stretchy poly spandex from Zenith and Quasar.

I also received a Sit With Us kids panel. I thought it was perfect for the Shwin Designs Carolina Tee. I used watercolor stripes from Sew Big Fabrics for the bands.

Tha back and sleeves of this top are made with sweater knit that's very stretchy. This will allow a larger size range to fit it.

This top also has a back that wraps around to the front.

Next I made two Halla Patterns Autumn Sweaters in the cocoon cardigan version .  For this first one, I used a safety pin print cotton lycra for the front. A safety pin on your clothing is to indicate that you are "safe". As in you are non-judgemental and someone a person can be "safe with".

I used the "May Not Be the Same" panel for the back. It is gorgeous and sends a powerful message.

This cocoon cardigan is a size 10/12 grade to 14/16 hips. But as it is a cardigan with dolman sleeves, it can accomodate bigger or smaller sizes.

I also used the Pride Splosion Stripe for a Halla Cocoon Cardigan.

I'm seriously thinking about bidding on it so I can keep this one.

I even did my best to stripe match!

I used a rib knit for the sleeves and bands of both cardigans.
