Sheet Sets for St. David’s Medical Center NICU
St. David’s NICU staff donates fabric to sewing volunteers. A popular request is coordinated sets that
include a receiving blanket/sheet (finished 30”x33”, flannel), a flannel frog
cover (or 2-3) for a vinyl frog (positioning aide), a flannel gel pad cover (or
2; rectangular), and an eye cover (or several; 4”x8” or 5”x10” pieces of
flannel, edges finished). When the
opportunity presents itself, make more frog covers in a set as opposed to more
gel pad covers. Always strive to make
at least one blanket, one gel pad cover, one frog cover, and one eye
cover. Make more than one blanket for
longer lengths of fabric.
