National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is every October. While many are aware of the threat of breast cancer, thousands of women are not properly educated on the early detection methods that can save lives. If you have a family member or friend who is fighting the fight against cancer, you know how important these methods can be. Show your support for the ones you love, women, and men across America by creating one of these free sewing projects that help you show your support during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer Awareness ideas are not hard to come by on the internet and we have so many bloggers with brilliant ideas! While it’s not always feasible to make a monetary donation, it’s never been easier to join the cause than with these easy sewing projects. The iconic light pink of Breast Cancer Awareness certainly helps make these projects striking, and whether you like the idea of an ambitious quilt or you’re looking for easy sewing tutorials, you’ll find something you like in our list!

With all the focus on beast ‘cancer’ it’s no wonder the rates keep rising. Wouldn’t it be better to focus our attention on breast health? Keeping ourselves free of cancer by learning to look after our health and that of our breasts. Putting our money towards finding preventatives rather cures that don’t actually work. After all radiation causes cancer, so what do we do? Irradiate ourselves as a cure. Chemo is designed to kill the cancer before it kills the patient. Does anyone know what causes cancer? NO. Are they interested in finding out? NO.
There’s no money in prevention and breast health. So the rates keep rising.
Members of my CWA branch and other CWA branches in N.Q. make breast drainage bags, turbans, beanies, bandanas, wraparound head scarves, breast pillows and pretty drawstring toiletry bags for patients – distributed between local cancer hospital and breast cancer services
