About this Event
As part of our Fourth Annual Knit + Crochet with Purpose we are delighted to introduce our Gather to Give Series. Gather to Give is a series of FREE events where participants will learn how to make and collectively create port pillows. A port pillow is a small pillow that attaches to a car’s seatbelt to protect and cushion a chemotherapy port. The ports can be very painful to the touch. The port pillow shields the port from pain, pressure, and rubbing during car rides. These pillows can be easily knitted, crocheted or sewn.
Join us Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at the Tecumseh Musgrove + Company location (135 E. Chicago Blvd., Tecumseh) from 5-7pm.
We will have a tutorial on how to sew these pillows, and then we will enjoy a cozy night together as we work on our projects. This is a very simple pattern, only basic-level sewing skills are needed.
You are encouraged to bring your own fabric and materials—this project is perfect for using up scrap fabric. Velcro and stuffing will be part of the project; some will be provided for practice, but you’re encouraged to bring your own if you’re able. Please plan to bring your own sewing machine if you have one. If you don’t, the instructor will have three machines available to share during the class, and we’ll rotate so everyone has time to sew. This is a free, volunteer-led event, so materials may be limited.
