Everything You Need to Know About Becoming a Seamstress With Us!
Families without access to Angel Gowns, clothe their stillborn infants in a T-shirt or wrap them in a blanket. These precious little souls deserve much better than that. This child will not experience baptism, prom, communion, or a wedding. Therefore, this child should be adorned with a beautiful garment to help celebrate these events that this child will not experience. It’s important for the family to bury their child in something beautiful. To a grieving family, knowing that someone (our seamstresses) cared enough to create something special for them brings comfort.
With over 2,000 dresses in inventory, we need you! If you are at least a moderately skilled seamstress and feel the calling to help grieving families, we would like to hear from you.
Donated wedding dresses are transformed into Angel Gowns, pouches, NICU Graduation sets, layette sets that are then sent to grieving families around the United States. As a volunteer seamstress for the Emma & Evan Foundation, you are providing comfort and hope to grieving families... We provide the patterns and instructions, you add love & compassion.
