Bandage Making – Week of 5th September 2022

Six ladies answered Julie’s call for help and aided in ripping several bags of polycotton sheets that have been donated into strips of different widths, that can be made into rolled bandages.

Christine, Moira, Margaret, Maureen, Anne N and Ann H worked very hard and at the end of the session there were 15 bags full of strips ready to be sewn together.

Christine and Moira took the remaining sheets home to finish off.

Julie is now looking for volunteers who can sew these strips together and she will be taking these to Monday’s meeting.

Several bags of bandages that are ready to roll were also produced.

Ann H has already rolled these since Monday!

Margaret N has rolled these bandages.

Rita hosted the Wednesday bandage making session today and was helped by Sue.

Rita and friends have also been busy making these:
