If you're a novice or experienced sewer or knitter and would like to help the boys and girls of South Africa, here's a way to share some dolly love!The Uthando ('Love') Project provides free patterns so you can make dolls for children in a community ravaged by HIV and AIDS. The dolls are to promote expressive play, which is essential for healthy development. Your doll could be a child's first toy, shared by the whole family.
If you're not sure that your sewing is good enough, think again. No need for perfection, wonkiness is just as loveable! Have a look here for the details and simple patterns:

If you decide to make one, post your pics to this Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/photos/uthandoproject/ I'll be posting mine in a couple of weeks...i hope ;)

This looks wonderful. What a great thing to post on your blog. I hadn't heard about the project before, but I'm going to make a doll.
I hope you pop yours on your blog!
Yay! I certainly will- pop yours on too! I just read this post again and noticed the title- are sewers the things that sewerage goes through? oh well :)
Here's a pic of my first doll! I'll be making him some clothes this week:

Looking forward to making some dolls and sending them on their way :-)
