Christmas, as I know you’ll agree, is a time for giving as well as receiving … and this year I was delighted to be asked to give a free project to the UK Charity Mencap as part of their “Make With Me” Campaign. Mencap supports people with learning disabilities across the UK and they are trying to raise funds by encouraging people to hold “Make With Me” parties. If you’re interested you can read more about their campaign here.
Bearing in mind Mencap’s making parties theme, I wanted to contribute a project that a group of people, whether adults or children, could enjoy making together. So I decided to donate a classic rag wreath tutorial – given the Bustle & Sew twist with the addition of some bunny decorations. These are also really easy to sew and make the rag wreath just a little bit special. And the raffia bow – that came from my wedding anniversary flowers from Townie Husband! (Ahhh).
If you’d like to download the Christmas Bunny Rag Wreath Tutorial then you’ll need to visit the Mencap site, where you’ll find a link to download the project as a pdf file. You don’t have to make a donation – but I’m sure they would be very pleased if you wanted to.
Helen, this is lovely. I use to do voluntary work with Adults with learning difficulties, it's such a worthwhile cause. I use to go to a disco every week to help and once a year we took them away for a weeks holiday !! I needed another holiday when I came back. It was so rewarding I really enjoyed doing it.

Mencap sounds like a very worth while organization. And such a lovely wreath! Thanks so much for the pattern!
