LMK is grateful to the following groups who are keeping our babies and siblings well supplied with toys, blankets and clothing.   

  • Allison and the Ladies Auxilliary from SJOG Bendigo
  • St Johns Needles and Threads group           
  • Pam, Marlene and the Australia wide team from Knit for Charities http://www.freewebs.com/knit4charities/

All families love to dress their new babes in a special outfit. LMK delivers garments to families who are always extremely grateful and very excited to have something special that fits! We welcome any knitted or sewn garments as well as material and wool.  Please remember to use baby wool and soft fabrics to protect delicate skin. Ribbon fastenings are preferrable and please remember the babes sleep on their backs.
We also provide a preloved garment wardobe and are pleased to accept any items that are in good - excellent condition.

Please feel free to use the following pattern links and size chart when making garments.
