Make your own hospice gown
It's easy to sew something you know how to make... But what if you don't know the ins and outs to creating a designer hospice gown. Let Deb teach you everything you need to know in these tutorial videos. She'll walk you through each step of the process, and before too long, you'll see just how easy it is to create something beautiful and meaningful for any sized person.
The process for creating a regular sized gown and a petite sized gown is the same. The difference comes in the amount of fabric used and the gown pattern. A regular size gown uses 2.5 yards of easy care fabric. A petite size gown uses 2 yards. Click here for the different sizes of gown patterns (free) to print out and tape together.
The creation process for a plus sized gown is roughly 80% the same as the regular sized gown. In this video we show both the differences and the similarities. Plus size gowns require 3 yards long and 50in wide material. This rules out most fabric you’d get at a store, so we suggest using a fun and colorful twin bed sheet.
