Wombat Sewing (Makers) Bee Challenge

ALL PROCEEDS DONATED TO THE WOMBAT FOUNDATION

The Wombat Sewing or Yarn Bee challenge is a major fundraiser to raise money for The Wombat Foundation – the only organisation dedicated solely to conservation of the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat.

Makers and artists have been invited to knit, sew or crochet a wombat – send it to us and we will sell or auction it as part of the festival.

Please include a note with your name in the package – and we would love you to name your wombat as well. Each wombat will be tagged by our team, with the name of the maker and wombat attached.

We also encourage the creation of sustainable wombats using recycled materials.

Donations of fabrics, yarn or notions are also welcome. Just send us an email.

Please share a photo of your wombat on our Wombat Festival Facebook page.

All proceeds donated to The Wombat Foundation to help save the critically endangered Warru - Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat

Completed wombats can be posted to:

PO Box 570, CLERMONT, QUEENSLAND 4721 - or contact us if you need bulk pick up in the Isaac, Emerald, Yeppoon, Mackay regions.

Please remember to name your wombat - and include your name on a note so we can tag them appropriately.
