About this deal
If you can use materials, you already have at home. I’m all about r epurposing old junk and make new cute home decor.
After you sew the seams together, take the open end and fold it perpendicular to the stitched short seam.Since I used 70″ X 72″ curtains, I simply folded the fabric in half. That gave me a 36″ wide and 70″ long material. If you want it smaller, adjust my measurements. You want to keep at least 1.5″ on the sides so you can sew them together. Gaza is completely shut off from the rest of the world. No one can leave. They can’t become refugees. The entire strip is about the size of 1/5th of London. And it is being bombed from air, land and see - day and night.
I have reactivated my Patreon, and everyone who wants some new cc and builds can pledge there. All money will go to humanitarian aid for Gaza. There is plenty of other places to donate, if Sims builds isn’t your thing. The Palestinian Red Crescent society, for example. I also encourage all of you to use your platforms, however small you might think it is, to enhance the voices of Gaza and spread the word to your community. Think about it! You can save money if you already have the material at home. An old curtain might be boring… you’ve been looking at it for years on the windows. BUT they can be upcycled into a cozy pyramid bean bag. Shredded memory foam for a cozy and fluffy bean bag. I love these memory foams! They are made in the US and are perfect for bean bag projects. Hence, it is much more important to spread awareness and stand up for the human rights of Palestinians. The world has been silent for 73 years. We need to put pressure on our politicians, and on each other, to speak up for what is right. Sharing (not this post, but the posts by Palestinians, speaking about the oppression and the violence and the occupation) is more important than giving money. Especially since not much humanitarian aid from the outside can even reach Gaza while the bombing is taking place.The people of Gaza are dying. The roads, the hospitals, the houses, everything is being bombed and there is no way out. There is barely electricity and clean water, no shelters nor warning systems. The few functional hospitals are already over full, and this is all happening in an area that has already been affected brutally by the Covid pandemic. Our family and friends are recording their good-bye messages. Sewing machine, I love my Brother sewing machine. It was inexpensive and worked great with different fabrics. Grab those old curtains in the house, look for a pyramid bean bag chair pattern (spoiler alert it is just a rectangle shape twisted on the top short side).
