Sew

Individuals

Doing good, having fun

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!
