Took a break today from the Easter dresses to complete another preemie gown. I am sending these gowns to a hospital in South Miami who will use them as keepsakes and burial gowns for the infants that are lost each year. The hospital averages 5-15 per month. I can’t make that many, but I can do whatever I can to make the parent’s loss more bearable. The pattern for this dress came from Threads of Love.

You are going to make some family’s sadness much easier. It is so pretty, my talented friend!

These are very beautiful and I am wondering if you send to Canada at all and if it is possible to obtain some? We are a small city in the south of Alberta and have about 20 or more stillbirths a year and I am having trouble finding paterns or clothes for these parents and babies. Thank you for your good work.

Gloria,
Thank you for your comment and I am not able to ship the gowns to Canada, but if you are looking for patterns I can tell you where to look. The Smocking Arts Guild of America (SAGA) and Threads of Love have patterns you can download for free. Hope this helps. Blessings, Deborah
I made this for my granddaughter. She was cremated in it.
