Remnant Packs for the Handmade Collective - Choose your colours

Our remnant packs are made up of beautiful quilting cottons from past collections. They include bolt ends from all of the top designers including Ruby Star Society, Cotton + Steel, Carolyn Friedlander, Tula Pink, Anna Maria Horner, Rae Ritchie, Wee Gallery... the list goes on and on.

Each pack is at least 250 grams and made up of multiple pieces in a colour range. The fabrics pieces are all different sizes but most are selvedge to selvedge. The picture left is an example of a "red" remnant pack. To give you some sense of size, 250 is usually about 1 1/2 yards. It will obviously vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

All of the proceeds from the sale of the packs will go to the Handmade Collective Awards at Ryerson. 

Handmade Collective Awards are financial aid bursaries funded by individuals and businesses in the maker industry wishing to take a stand against prejudice. The program, initiated by Berene Campbell of Happy Sew Lucky, brings makers together through various creative fundraising projects, with the goal of giving power back to those that have had it taken away from them. The awards seek students who themselves are involved in community or in social justice work – thereby completing the circle of the collective concept of working together for change. 

The Awards

3 x $1,000 awards will be awarded to Ryerson students in 2020:

One each to a Black, an Indigenous and a 2SLGBTQ+ student. 

We have committed to fundraising for a minimum of 3 awards each year, for at least the next 5 years. Any additional funds raised over the $15,000 commitment will become additional bursaries. The more we raise the more students we help! There is no limit to the number of bursaries we can award in the name of this fund.
