Ordered - Scrap bag from Moda
The people of Baseco live on a rubbish dump - eat scraps.
Fabric - Gobble Gobble by Sandy Gervais
In our western culture we do not go without food, unless by choice.
The people of Baseco have no choice
They have no food.
They are starving.
Their children cry themselves to sleep with hunger.
This Bag/Tote has come about because a friend and her family
decided to go to Manila and serve the people of Baseco.
They stayed with some other friends who are missionaries
to the people of Baseco.
They fell in love with a people.
I fell in love with a people.
The Baseco people are like you and I.
they Love, they laugh, they Hope.
Yet they live in Poverty.
I thought how can I help.
I have a family and I sew.
I sew, I sew, I sew.
And sew I did.
The 'Baseco Mahal Kita' Tote.
The 'Baseco I Love You' Tote.
Would you like to make one.
Lets make a difference.
Lets make a Bag
I am selling this pattern through PayPal
or my Etsy site (see sidebar)
If you want to purchase the pattern,
I will send you a PDF via email within 24 hours of Purchase.
Proceeds to go to the Baseco people
through Mark and Christine Pedder.

Hello Dawn, just bought a pattern and will add it to my blog.
Hello Dawn, Thanks for the Baseco bag pattern. I am just about to read through the pattern and then start to make it. I am into pastel shades so I just loved Jenny from Elefantz's version. I even have two sets of leather handles, one set in pink and one set of lavender. Think I will make the first one up with lavender fabrics as my favourite colour is purple - any shade. I too have some Cottage Garden Threads that keep calling out 'USE ME FIRST PLEASE'. So far I have resisted but I think it is time I brought them to the surface of my thread stash. Here goes .......

Hey Dawn, what a special woman you are to think of this beautiful idea. I have made my bag and will show it to you on Tuesday with $4 for a pattern to be sent to my sister Deb:)
HUGS....

I cant wait to start on my Baseco bag, I love that you are doing somethingso positive, just goes to shoe , we can all help if we use our own particular talent set. Good for you Dawn
It looks fantastic Dawn, i have been busy finding fabrics to make mine - it is such a worthy cause- you really inspire me with your caring and generosity.
hugs.....Heather M
Have been past those areas when in Manila many years ago. I imagine the flooding made life even more difficult there.
I have a Compassion child in the area that had the second typhoon.
It is great to be able to do something to help those who have so little.
Oh that we could have a free garage sale that they were able to attend..now what an impetus that would be or us to deal with stuff.
Well done Dawn on supporting such a worthy cause, you will help them immensely, have just ordered my pattern.
Hugs

How small is our world? When Mark was back here in Australia he stayed with us for four days - we were blessed to meet both Mark and Christine at a missions conference in Phuket last year and became friends.
I will MOST certainly buy this pattern and will let others know
THe pedders do fantastic work!

Thanks again Dawn! I finished my bag (blogged at http://grendelskin.blogspot.com/2010/03/baseco-bag-done.html) and it came out super-cute! The pattern is terrific, easy for a beginner to tackle. It takes modification well too (I'm too lame at stitchery to wreck a good bag with it, and I didn't have twill tape so I used buttons).
A very nice idea. I have bougt a pattern and I will tell my friends to do too.
