Hospice Seamstress

Are you a compassionate seamstress or quilter who wants to make a lasting difference in someone's life? We are seeking a skilled and caring Hospice Seamstress to craft meaningful memory gifts-such as teddy bears, pillows, or quilts-from the clothing of our patients who have passed. These keepsakes are cherished by families and provide comfort in times of grief.

Responsibilities:

• Use donated garments (often favorite shirts, pajamas, or robes) to create custom memory items.

• Work with our bereavement or volunteer team to ensure sensitive handling and return of items.

• Maintain confidentiality and compassion in all interactions.

• Create items within a reasonable time frame (2-3 weeks per item, depending on complexity).

Qualifications:

• Intermediate to advanced sewing skills; ability to work independently.

• Your own sewing machine and materials (some supplies may be reimbursed or provided).

• Attention to detail and respect for the emotional value of the items.

• Experience with quilting, embroidery, or keepsake sewing is a plus.

Time Commitment:

Flexible hours. You choose how many items you can commit to each month. Most work is done from your own home.

Benefits:

• Bring comfort and healing to grieving families.

• Use your talents in a truly meaningful way.

• Join a community of volunteers committed to dignity and compassion.
