Shirts worn by people during Dave Day are being turned into a new creation for charity.

When the celebrations of Dave Myers' life took place on June 8 earlier this year, those involved were asked to wear their most outlandish Hawaiian shirts in honour of the Hairy Biker's renowned fashion sense.

Now, organised by Sam Rimmer, those shirts are being used to create a bed quilt which will then be raffled for charity.

Having been on the hunt for donations since the event finished, the contributions are now piling in for Sam as she gets ready to put it all together.

She said: "Dave Day continues to introduce us to wonderful people and gives us all smiles.

"The money raised from the raffle will be split between NSPCC Childline and The National Institute of Cancer Research, like the rest of the donations to Dave Day."

Recently, it was announced that the occasion managed to raise a 'remarkable' £127,318.62, with Sam now hoping that she can add to that total through the special item.

Whilst the quilt will end up being a unique item that someone can get their hands on, it is not the first time that Dave's penchant for garish clothes has benefitted charity.

In the build up to Dave Day, pupils at Greengate Junior School in Barrow donned Hawaiian shirts and fake moustaches to pay tribute to the local star.

For Sam, she has been receiving donations from people across the country, highlighting just how well regarded Dave was nationwide.

"I'll make a patchwork of them and raffle as a quilt for a bed, I'll need quite a few other bits too - padding, backing, thread - but I'd supply all that and donate the raffle money to the charities," Sam explained. 

"It will take hours and hours to build this quilt and it will be worth it to continue to donate to the charities and give more people a Dave Day as a direct result of the ride out."
