Please complete and submit the Volunteer Seamstress Registration Interest Form below. We will review your application and email you a copy of our Volunteer Seamstress Terms & Conditions.  All volunteer seamstresses must agree to follow our Terms & Conditions.

Once you have reviewed and agreed to the Volunteer Seamstress Terms & Conditions please return your signed agreement to the address that will be listed on the paperwork. The paperwork MUST BE MAILED and NOT EMAILED back to us.

You will then proceed with step 3 below in our registration process.

REGISTRATION PROCESS

  2. Mail your signed Terms & Conditions form back to NICU Helping Hands, along with a $10 check to cover the shipping of your starter kit and printed patterns.
  3. Once we’ve received your form and payment we will ship your starter kit to the mailing address provided. Please allow four weeks for your starter kit to arrive. 
  4. Utilizing the starter kit, patterns and instruction sheet shipped to you from NICU Helping Hands, complete two sample garments (micro-preemie and medium garments) with your sewing machine and return to us for assessment.

  6. Once accepted as a volunteer seamstress you will receive an email invitation to join our closed, secret Facebook page.

YOU MUST ACCEPT THIS INVITATION in order to be a fully approved and registered volunteer seamstress.
