Our October sewing swap over at Craftmad was to make a Breast Cancer Bag. These bags we make as a group will be sent off to Breast Clinics in Australian hospitals by the lovely ladies over at BagMakingPatterns.com
These bags will house 2 drainage bottles which patients are sent home with usually in a hospital pillow slip. To make life a little more pleasant for patients, these bags we are helping make will be used to carry the drainage bottles in. The pattern used for this bag is relatively simple.
Here is my finished bag:
If you want to get involved and make 1 or more bags for this wonderful project please drop me a line by commenting here & I will email you the details & pattern instructions (NB. I only have details for Australia). You can add your own personal touch and include a short message with embroidery or even make a patchwork bag - the more individual the better (please don't make your own bag/s, there is a specific pattern to follow as it's been designed to house 2 drainage bottles) - to help brighten the day of a Mother, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, Friend or Cousin who's in need of a little pick-me-up.
