Hi everyone
Ano Ano and Jo S. have been ramping up the waste fabrics recycling project and this waste is being made into mattresses for people who need to have better sleeping facilities.
What is needed are covers to go over the mattresses. We would like to convert olds sheets or appropriate material into the covers.
The vision for a working bee is to get together one weekend and production line a whole heap. So we would have measurers, cutters, pinners, sewers, overlockers, tea person. SO if you think this would be something you could do please let me know so I can start the ball rolling. And if you are out of our area you are still welcome to come along!!

Can you spare a little time to share your crafty, creative or organising talents?
Anō Anō is on a mission to create community connection and divert waste from landfill by mending, upcycling and repurposing discarded clothing/textiles and we need help with a variety of tasks to keep us on track.
If you like our kaupapa and would like to earn time credits whilst helping out in a fun environment with like minded people please get in touch or drop in and see us. Areas in particular we would love help with are ....
Sorting incoming clothing and textiles,
Mending/repairing clothing,
Making upcycled or repurposed items for the Eco Centre shop (we also have number of projects that are started and need finishing, such as denim tool belts/aprons needing pockets added),
Washing clothes/stain removal on otherwise good condition clothing,
Running or hosting a workshop (especially if it involves making reuseable alternatives to single use plastic, however all workshop ideas are welcome)
Sharing your knitting/sewing/crafty and creative skills with visitors wanting to learn,
Help tidying our shelves and boxes of clothing and fabrics that get a bit disorderly after particularly busy sessions or workshops.
In return we can offer you time credits, lots of gratitude, cups of tea/coffee, inspiration for creativity, possible assistance with any upcycling or repurposing projects of your own and the potential to meet some awesome people in our space.
