'Designer' Hospital Gown
Just the other day I was browsing on Pinterest and I found a link for a pattern to make 'Designer' hospital gowns. I was so pleased that I immediately re-pinned it and the next day I bought material to make a gown for a very specific friend of mine.
My dear friend Ashley has Cystic Fibrosis. I have known Ashley since we were children as her grandparents were from my hometown so she would come visit in the summers and then we both attended summer music camps in high school. We eventually both ended up as music majors in college and lived together for two years on campus. Fast forward to the present day. Ashley is currently waiting for a double lung transplant. She has been listed for 513 days. This is a very long time to be waiting. When she is in good health, she has the good fortune of living as home. But staying healthy is difficult when you have limited lung function. She has spent many months at the hospital receiving care. Despite it all, Ashley always wears a smile and has a positive outlook on life. I wanted to send her a nice bright hospital gown to brighten her tough days.
Above: Front view. You can really see it because the print is so busy, but there is a pocket that covers a button hole that is long enough to lace heart monitor wires through.
Above: The tops of the sleeves have velcro and a button near the neckline.
Above: Rear view. Flaps overlap to provide plenty of coverage. There are two sets of ribbon ties. One at the top and one midway down the back.
Above: Here is a closer look at the material.
Above: These buttons were perfect!
Respectfully,
