Currently, we only allow local volunteers to Caroline County, Virginia sew gown requests to help increase our turn around time and for better quality control throughout the gown-making process. 

However, we have included below several different opportunities in which anyone can sew from the comfort of their own home to benefit the children and families we work with. Each item has an associated file, tutorial, pattern, or design that can either be clicked on and opened, or downloaded. We did not include downloadable files for patterns that links were available to the original source, so that all parties involved are given the credit they deserve for their work.

All completed items can be sent directly to Gracie's Gowns using the following address:
1919 Captain Drive
Fredericksburg, VA 22408

NICU Surprise Boxes

These are boxes we have compiled with items made for even the tiniest of heroes to wear, or to be used by their parents during their NICU stay.

Each year our families nominate NICUs special to their heart and we share their stories on our blog, if we are allowed to with the donation made to each hospital. 
  • NICU Smocks (in all sizes)
  • Bandana Bibs
    • We can use all sizes to send with individiual gowns as well, but for NICU boxes we only need the smallest size.
  • Blankets
  • Skin-to-skin Covers (Nursing Covers)
    • These should be made in fun, more adult like fabrics as they are for parents to use while holding their NICU babies. 
  • Infant Scratch Mitts
  • Infant Booties
  • Reusable Nursing Pads
  • Sleep Sacks/Blanket Sleepers​

Other items that are often included, but not sewn are crochet hats.

Hematology/Oncology Surprise Boxes

These are boxes we have compiled with items made to make constant clinic appointments and even hospital admissions a bit more enjoyable and maybe even a little more like home. 

Each year our families nominate hospitals that have hematology/oncology units or clinics that special to their heart and we share their stories on our blog, if we are allowed to with the donation made to each hospital.
  • Chemotherapy Bag Covers
  • Surgical Caps
  • Fabric Headbands
    • ​Both sizes are great, please make sure to place in a bag with what size headbands are made.
  • ​Reusable Face Masks
    • All sizes can be used, please make sure to place in a bag with what size masks are made.
  • Seat Belt Support for Chemotherapy Ports
  • Pillowcases 
    • Regular and Travel Size - the pattern is for regular
Other items that are included inside the boxes, but are not sewn are fun Band-Aids, and stickers for decorating chemotherapy bags.

    • We use the 6" x 6" size, but can also use other sizes for families with different needs besides a first aid kit
  • G-tube Covers
  • ​Eye Patches
  • NICU Hearts
  • Ouchie Bears
