Practical sewing

First it was aprons for everyone on my Christmas list -
Now I'm sewing a wardrobe of hospital gowns for a special person.
There are many "community quilt" projects (eg Linus quilts for children in hospital), but I've not heard of a project for making pretty gowns for patients in longterm care. Yet they would be a morale booster for bedridden patients. The gowns are quick to make, take only 2 metres of fabric, and have scope for simple and effective embellishment.

  1. Hi I think the gowns are a great idea. And why don't linus also give small quilts to adults? Might be worth approaching the QG?
