Thank you everyone! There are already over 2,000 bags sent to the association! They say they still receive bags but you don't need to start new bags now.
Actually I haven't finished mine but I'll finish it ASSP and send it. For more information, please check this out. They only have a Japanese page on this information.
Japan Handicraft Instructor's Association now wants handmade book bags for young children who have been evacuating since the quake. Does anyone sew?
Their goal is to get 1,000 donations from everyone due on Friday the 15th. The size and design are specified but simple. They pick only one design because it'll be unfair to those children when they receive if the designs vary.
The recommended material;
Quilting cotton fabric
The size is as follows;
Body
width: 40-45cm
height: 30cm
Handles
handles: 30-40cm
No pockets or depth
Name Tag
Attach or sew a piece of white fabric on the left top corner so that they can write their name on it.
width: 10cm
height: 3cm
Please check out the instructive picture here.
I know it'll cost your time and money if you send it from overseas, but if anyone interested, please help the children!!
The address is;
Japan Handicraft Instructors' Association
8F, 3-23, Motomura-cho,
Ichigaya, Shinjuku,
Tokyo 162-0845, Japan
If you have any questions, you can contact them or me.
