Sew
Individuals
Want to create capes as a meaningful project when you have the time at home? Invite a few friends to get together for a craft day.
We’ll provide you with a WAWOS Wear sewing kit containing a pattern, clothing labels and hang tags to produce at least 5 capes.
You’ll supply the fabric, the velcro, the thread, and of course, the talent!
Schools
Are you an educator? Does your school have a fabric arts or crafting room with sewing machines and supplies?

Goals
- Learn fabric arts/sewing skills and inspire creativity
- Promote leadership, kindness and inclusion
