Well, Sharee, the incredibly thoughtful woman behind the organization of the Sticker Project is at it again. This time it is all about Ruby Lous for Ruby Jane. If you want to know the background story, please head on over here to get all the background information on why Sharee felt the need to organize this service opportunity. This really is a great (and easy!) opportunity to serve.
How it works is simple: you purchase a Ruby Lou doll pattern from Sew Much Ado (here) in the month of August and all the profits of the pattern will be donated to the Ruby Jane Foundation (which is a beautiful organization set up by little Ruby Jane's parents).
Want to do more? You can. You can donate your finished doll to the Ruby Jane Foundation and it will be given to a little girl who is waiting for an organ donor. What a great way to spread a little joy before the holiday season. The address for sending donations is:
RJF
PO Box 505
Trabuco Canyon, CA 92678

Not a sewer? That's okay. Neither am I.
For myself, I plan on purchasing the pattern and giving it my best efforts (making a doll for Milayla and one to donate). Not ready to try your hand at sewing? Well, then there are still a couple of options for you. One, please spread the word! The more people that know about this, the better. Or two, purchase the pattern to give to someone who is a sewer. This is such a great pattern that I am sure would be happily received. Lastly, you can always donate directly to the Ruby Jane Foundation.
Any way you decide is best for you- thank you! Your support is incredible. And, of course, Thanks to Sharee for organizing yet another great opportunity for us all to give a little more this year!
Have fun! And if you should make the doll, please do send pictures! Also, if anyone should have any ideas on how to spread a little love and joy to the little boys who are awaiting organ transplants, your ideas would be welcome as I can't help but feel that they and their families need a little pre-holiday brightening as well!
Can't wait to hear about everyone's experiences!

So so sweet Laura. This made my day. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I found someone who used the Ruby Lou pattern to make a Roby Lee doll - how hilarious is that?!! They simply omitted the pig-tails & skirt and used boy fabric. I'm still laughing about it, but it might be well received by someone!!!
