​

1) Tote Bags (Sewn) -  This location will accept most any of our quilting cotton or light canvas tote bag patterns that are approximately 16"x16" to 18"x18" in size. At this time they are requesting fabrics to appeal to women.  Leaving a Legacy reports to us that their favorite tote is the Two Tone Fabric Tote.

 

2) Heart Hugs - Our little square of love. Please make these with heart buttons or charms so they  have no religious connotations and can be used by anyone for whatever purpose they choose. 

​

3) Port Pillow - This protective device attaches to the seat belt of the car to soften it when going over where a person's port may be. Stuff them very firm so they do the most good.

​

4) Cosmetic Bags - Any pattern that will finish at approximately 7"x9" is acceptable to Leaving A Legacy. They do prefer a boxed bottom. They fill the cosmetic bag with smaller items like chapstick and lotion before putting in the tote.  

​

5) Chemo Caps - (Sewn/Knit/Crochet) We have many wonderful patterns for sewing, knitting or crocheting up soft and comfortable chemo caps. If knitting/crocheting these caps please follow our approved/tested yarn list. It is especially important for the sensitive scalps of a patient going through chemotherapy to get the right kind of yarn. Our Advisory Board spends a lot of time testing yarns so you don't have to. Please trust that they have our recipients best interest at heart. We have a wide selection of yarns at every price point available on our approved list. List available below in our pattern section or by clicking here.
