Thanks to many generous local donations, and with a focus to fundraise to enable The Dorcas Dress Project to set up a new sewing and craft hub, a few Mothers’ Union members were amongst a team of dressmakers local to our Ducklington branch making scrubs for GP surgeries, NHS staff and carers in our area. It was good fun batch cutting the trousers and tops, realising there was a wealth of eager seamstresses in the local area and witnessing the gratitude of all the scrubs’ recipients. Here is a sample of some of the scrubs that made their way to Cheltenham district hospital. Between us we made over 100 outfits and clothed well over 35 key workers at the same time as securing funds to enable us to provide the sewing resources and equipment to set up a crafting hub. If your branch is interested in being a hub please let me know. Maria Skoyles (Ducklington branch) and on behalf of The Dorcas Dress Project (doracsdressproject@gmail.com)
