I don't know that everyone here knows what I do. Since my son,Jack,passed away 4 years ago, I make tiny burial gowns for other NICU families to use.There have tragically been numerous losses here lately and it got me to thinking more about my son. I didn't want his short life to have been in vain. Each year on his birthday and/or angel day, I do something special in Jack's name. This year I have been quite busy with the impending divorce and 4 small children to raise. But I didn't want Jack's day (which also happens to be my youngest's birthday)to pass by unmarked. I want to offer up the gowns I make to anyone here at TC that needs them. I sincerely hope I would never have to donate them but I know that is unrealistic. I crochet the gowns and caps-each one can take me up to 2 weeks depending how much spare time I have. Generally, they will fit babies 4 pounds and under. 7Mozzas has one of the gowns I made so she can attest to the quality. Perhaps she can even scan a picture of it for me as I am w/o a scanner for the moment. Currently,I have 2 completed ones here -one blue and one rainbow pastel. I am almost done with a pink one. I have been donating them to the local NICUS here to use. But I would like to open it up here too as TC has been very supportive of me. Just contact me thru e-mail or private message and I will be willing to overnight the gowns and caps anywhere in the world.If anyone else knows how to crochet,knit or sew and would be interested in helping create the gowns, I would love to have help. The website I use for patterns is http://www.hood.edu/carewear.
God Bless,Korrie

Thank you so much for this website I remember when I was given three outfits with caps when the girls were first born in NICU. I just took a sewing class and recently (4 days ago) started to crochet...sooo with that said if only I was better I could volunteer my time. I hope to get some more lesson and when I get better I could help out. Are the supplies donated by the maker of the outfit or does the organization help out with that?

I buy all the supplies myself and make the gowns. I also bought all the material for the kimonos. A couple of members from my local MOMs group sewed them up for me as I cna't sew! I've asked for donations of supplies from our membership (local MOMs group) but so far only 2 people have offered to help crochet and the 2 who did the sewing but no supplies. I have alot of yarn right now though,so I am pretty set for awhile.
