Shoba - Volunteer

Shoba is one of our team of dedicated sewists.   After working full time for almost 30 years Shoba decided to take a career break to pursue some travelling with her husband.  On her return Shoba was looking for a new interest to pass the time. She has always had a passion for sewing and wanted to learn how to make her own clothes. It was when she discovered Kayes Textiles and  started to look at the different sewing classes that they had on offer that she discovered PICCPals.  

She explains 

"I love this team and look forward to working with them every month.  I would like to learn all of the tasks involved in making and distributing the PICC sleeves so I can help with anything.  Nikki and Zöe are very inspiring, lovely ladies. It's a great feeling knowing that the sleeves I have sewn are worn and valued by patients. I will always continue to give a hand to PICCPals."

By being part of the sewing team Shoba not only supports the charity's work but she also hopes that this will give her the confidence in her sewing abilities to further her skills to make clothing and learn more about fashion.
