Make Clothes With Us. Make a Difference.
At Maison de Sérénne Foundation, we believe that clothing can restore dignity, comfort and confidence — especially for people living with medical conditions, disabilities, or vulnerability.
One of the most powerful ways to support our work is by using your skills, creativity, and care to make clothing for others.
Whether you are an experienced sewer, a student, part of a sewing group, or someone who simply loves to create, you can help.
Make Clothing for Donation
We invite individuals, community groups, schools, and sewing collectives to make garments using our free patterns and donate them to the Foundation.
These garments will support:
-
Patients in hospitals and hospices
-
People with disabilities or reduced mobility
-
Individuals with medical needs (including stomas, lines, and sensory sensitivities)
-
Families experiencing hardship
Every item you make helps someone feel more comfortable, dignified, and seen.
