Sewing Bees!

ongoing

We are looking for some volunteers who have a sewing machine and some time to give. Basic sewing skills only needed. 
What will you be making you ask? Belongings bags for patients belongings, place mats to make our meal trays a little more cozy.
When people pass away at our hospice, rather than pack their belongings in plastic bags, we like to be able to give their families some fabric bags that they can lovingly pack their loved ones belongings in to take home. These can then be kept as a treasured reminder or as a grocery shopping bag that every time they use it, they think of their person.
Our meals are served on trays but with homemade place mats it brightens up the meal. We have material we just need your talent. .
