Sewing for Mastectomy

On December 21, 2023 I found out I had breast cancer. At first, I was facing a lumpectomy, but after more diagnostic tests, my breast surgeon recommended a mastectomy of my left breast and on February 9, 2024, my left breast was removed. (I had a skin/nipple sparing mastectomy with tissue spreader – a replacement left breast is under construction).

I sewed several things that I thought I’d need to have on hand. I created an album on Flickr that includes photos of the items I sewed

You can tap the image to view each photo individually. In each photo’s description, I included information about the pattern and the fabric I used.
