Cushion covers and throws: a workplace project
The problem. Unsold soft furnishings pile up and lose value. Who it helps. A workplace team backing the project. The people helped are small makers, stallholders and neighbours holding leftover stock. What you start with. Surplus cushion covers and throws. What is delivered. Covers and throws are matched by fabric and bundled into themed sets. A named team lead runs it alongside normal work, and taking part is voluntary. How progress is known. Sets made and sold are counted. A short summary is shared with your team, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is access to a useful product or service, or less waste going to landfill, for the community. Honest limits. Fabric condition and care labels must be checked first. Items are described accurately, in line with Australian consumer law, and custom made or refurbished items are disclosed. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet.
