Smocks for UNC Hospital NICU Patients
Introducing a New Project! Guild members, Vicki Childers and Gail Kleimnan, brought this wee little project idea to the Outreach Committee. The UNC Hospital NICU needs smocks for neonatal babies.

The pattern comes in 4 sizes…micro (1-3 lbs), tiny (3-5 lbs), preemie (5-8 lbs) and newborn (8-11lbs). The smocks require minimal fabric and are quick to make. We will have samples at the Outreach table and a limited number of paper patterns. The free pattern can be ordered from the website Everything Your Momma Made and More www.eymm.com/product/free-nicu-friendly-smocks or you can get the pattern here. NOTE: Pattern piece C is flipped backwards on this file, they are working on updating it ASAP as well as updating some of the directions from when it was originally designed 8 years ago.
