Maria with Sheila of Sheila Loves Fabric, introduces an episode on Sew Organised Style that is born out of care.

This is not a medical advice episode.

When Sheila’s daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, sewing became one of the ways she could offer comfort and dignity during treatment.

In this episode, Sheila talks about what she discovered: the garments that helped, the adjustments that mattered, the fabrics she used, and the things she would have loved to have known about earlier.

Sewing was also a mindful way that Sheila could manage her own feelings by also sewing for herself.

Sheila’s hope is that these insights will support others who are sewing for someone navigating cancer treatment, or that you might share this episode with someone who needs it.

Each person treatment journey is different and you can support them with really simple sewing projects to bring them some comfort during a really stressful time.
