We’re putting out a heartfelt call to our incredible community of Sewing Angels – could you help us create more of our much-needed post-surgery support cushions?
These specially designed pillows provide comfort and protection to Islanders recovering from mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery, easing pressure under the arm and breast area during those vital early days of healing. They are a simple gesture that makes an enormous difference.
What’s a Post-Surgery Cushion?
A post-operative cushion is a small, heart-shaped pillow that sits snugly under the arm. It provides gentle support after breast surgery, reducing discomfort from seatbelts, sudden movements, or pressure on stitches. Many patients describe them as a little hug of support at exactly the moment they need it most.
How Do I Make One?
It’s easier than you might think. Our friends at The Sewing Studio have kindly shared a short step-by-step video to guide you through the process.
🎥 Watch it here:
Whether you’re a sewing pro or just getting started, we’d love for you to join in.
🧵 Prefer to Sew Together?
We’re also happy to host a community sewing party – a chance to come together, share a cuppa, and sew with purpose. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Sue.Frost@abc.org.je and we’ll keep you updated on upcoming sessions.
📦 Where Do I Deliver Finished Cushions?
Once your cushion(s) are ready, please drop them off at:
📍 Jersey General Hospital, St Helier
Mark them for ABC Jersey – Post Surgery Cushions.
Together, we can wrap our Island in kindness, one stitch at a time.
Thank you for being part of the ABC Jersey family 💕
