Hello friends, and welcome to the very last week of the Project Underpants campaign! We’ve had an amazing month with over 1000 pairs of knickers being donated to the Backpacks 4 Aussie Kids program. I can’t thank you enough for your generosity! If you haven’t sent off your pledge yet, make sure you do so today as it will need to arrive by 1 October to be in the prize draw.
Today’s final round of prizes takes a little look at alternative ways to wear your knickers… namely, on the OUTSIDE of your pants. Superheroes have been sporting the outside-undie trend for generations and quite frankly, doing a smashing job at saving the world from evil villains and other nasty no-goodniks.
First up, if you’re going to wear your knickers outside your shorts, you can really only get away with it if you look the part. So our fabulous friends at DressUps are giving away one of their awesome handmade superhero capes. It comes with a bright red super symbol screenprint, and matching eye mask for keeping your identity secret.
Next up, representing the amphibian superhero community, it’s Oliver the Frog! This little green machine is handmade by the folks at “and the little dog laughed” and proudly provided by our buddies at billy lids. He’ll arrive on you door step with his very own handmade mini superhero cape, ready to join you on your crime-fighting adventure.
Last up today is “Wild Willow”… she may appear all sweet and serene on the outside, but at night time she dons her superhero paraphernalia, and protects the world from evil forces. She has superhuman strength, stamina and agility and her secret weapon is the ‘power-hug’. She’s 100% handmade by the crafty folk at Cuckoo for Coco and comes with her very own mini polka dot superhero cape.
The Project Underpants winners will be drawn next week and names will be published on this page and in our 7 October news. I’d like to send another BIG thank you to all of the wonderful Project Underpants sponsors. Be sure to drop by and visit their websites to show your appreciation for their generosity.
Today’s Project Underpants post comes to you today with a miles of smiles and millions of hugs! Well, actually… 857 hugs to be precise, cause that’s how many undie pledges we’re up to so far!! WOOHOOOOO! Gosh, what a heartwarming number, thank you all so much for your immense generosity. With another seven days to go… who knows, maybe we’ll break the 1000 mark!
Reminder… Each pair of underpants you donate to the Project Underpants campaign gets you one entry into the draw. New prizes will be released each week throughout September {winners drawn on 1 October, 2010}, plus the person or group who donates the most pairs will win a $150 shopping spree from our friends at Whimsy Child. For full campaign details, please click here.
Our first prize today was handmade by our friend Caleena from Little People Clothing. She’s made entirely out of a pair of white cotton socks with woollen hair, hand embroidered face and hand crocheted knickers and slippers… She’s soft and stuffed and ready to be loved!
Next up is a handmade lavender heat pack from the crafty Leah at Vintage Chenille. It features an adorable retro dolly print on super cosy vintage chenille fabric and is filled with rice and Australian grown lavender flowers.
Our third prize today is one that really tickled my fancy. This vintage eeny teeny cotton knit bikini was hand knitted by our friend Elizabeth from Knit Baby. It’s from the Knit Baby Spring Summer 10 “Cool Cotton Collection”.
Last up today we have a hair clip holder, handmade by Nat from Quirky Kids. Constructed from an original hand drawn design, it’s handcut, sanded, painted, decoupaged, sealed and finished by hand.
Stay tuned next week for the final round of prizes! In the mean time…
Ready for some undie fun? Today I’ve got three more prizes to add to the Project Underpants prize pool! This week, it’s all about y-fronts; the funniest of all the underpants. Our undie tally is going strong… but we still need more knickers! Click here to pledge!

First up, the coolest coin purse that you’ll spy this year! These one-of-a-kind wacky y-fronts are completely hand stitched from reclaimed felt by our good friend Cintia from My Poppet. So cool!
Second on the list today, four knicker sticker packs from Sissy Sparrows. These colourful sets are perfect for creating hilarity on school books, diaries or scrapbooks. Each set is handcut from original illustrations and features a variety of y-fronts and frilly knickers.
Last up today, is an original 8×10″ print by Noosed Kitty. I spied it recently on my travels and couldn’t resist snapping it up to add to the prize pool. It features one very brave kitty and his fabulously hilarious superhero mask. I mean, really, who HASN’T attempted to fight crime with knickers on their head… we’ve all been there…
Stay tuned next week for another round of prizes! In the mean time…
Hooray, it’s time for the first round of prizes in our Project Underpants campaign! We’ve been so chuffed by the generosity of our readers and the indie/handmade community. Thank you so much for your support; we’ve collected 262 pairs of knickers so far towards our 500 pair goal, woohoo! Keep those pledges coming!

This original vintage inspired print is the creative work of Melbourne based artist, Louise from The Little Humbugs. Louise draws her designs in pencil, and then colours them digitally. The finished product is printed using high quality archival paper and claria inks and is then matted, ready for framing. This little cutie looks like she’s taking master duck for a splash in some puddles!
Next up we have Billy in his y-fronts and Bella in her frilly knickers. This delightful pair are hand crocheted by Rosie from Rosie’s Bears and Bitty Critters. Each one is made from acrylic yarn and stands approx. 25cm tall. I don’t know what it is about y-fronts, but they always make me giggle!
Our final prize today is from the crafty studio of Steph from Mon Petit Poppet. Sporting a red and white polka dot bikini, this handmade dolly is off on vacation to the beaches of St. Tropez. She’s looking for a stylish fashionista to take along with her… cocktails at sunset anyone?
Stay tuned next week for another round of prizes! In the mean time….
