You are invited to a special making for charity session with @surreysews
PICC Line Covers Sewalong - Weds 5th August. 7-9pm (UK BST). FREE to attend.

Help us make PICC line covers for cancer patients in Surrey 🙏

PICC line covers are an alternative to tubular bandages used to protect PICC lines required during cancer treatment. Having a handmade PICC line cover in fun colours has such a positive impact on patients identity during tough times.

They’re super simple to make and a great jersey scrap-buster too!🤩

1️⃣ Choose fabric - cotton/viscose jersey or swim
2️⃣ Cut length (21cm)
3️⃣ Hem with coverlock or zigzag
4️⃣ Cut width - Small 20cm, Medium 25cm, Large 30cm
5️⃣ Create tube (fold right sides together and sew seam)

Pop a message over to @melaniekeane if you can help with our new project! We’re going to be distributing PICC line covers to cancer patients across Surrey with the help of The Fountain Centre 🥰 by @surreysews

Help make PICC line covers ⤵️

Switching a bandage for a handmade PICC line cover may seem like a small change, but Mel discovered it made such a difference to her confidence and sense of identity during cancer treatment.

Now Mel is collecting PICC line covers to donate to anyone else that needs them. They’re easy to make and a great jersey scrap buster. Here’s how to make them:

1️⃣ CHOOSE FABRIC - You need something with stretch. Jersey or swimwear fabric is ideal.

2️⃣ CUT OUT - Length 21cm x Width 20cm (small), 25cm (medium), 30cm (large)

3️⃣ CREATE TUBE - By sewing the two edges together along the length

4️⃣ HEM - Fold up 1cm and hem each end of the tube. Use Maraflex thread, a zigzag stitch, twin needle or coverstitch.

💌 Please message @melaniekeane if you’re interested in helping out! by @surreysews
