Charity key rings

We’ve been very busy recently making key rings for the charity – Lonely Pawz. Lonely Pawz is a Cornish charity that rescues stray and abandoned small animals. We decided to try and raise some money for them after they rescued a little 6 week old kitten, called Mojo - he was found taped up in a cardboard box and left out for the bin men. Mojo is coming to live with my friend and this is our way of helping them cover the costs of looking after him.



As you can see we’ve made lots of key rings with a variety of materials. They are interfaced and there is wadding in-between, so in effect they are quilted and fairly stiff, which we think adds to the quality of them. Interestingly when they’ve been turned the right way round, we had to use a free motion embroidery foot because if we tried to use a normal straight stitch foot, it jammed at the corners with all the layers and then the material wouldn’t feed either. The poor foot thought it was trying to scale the Alps!
