StitchCraft Tailoring & Quilting: Sewn Together With Love

Jenna Fralick, BScN RN

In the world of home healthcare, partnerships are essential. When organizations work together, they can bring holistic, person-centered solutions that go far beyond medical care. One of the most inspiring examples of this kind of partnership is our collaboration with StitchCraft Tailoring & Quilting — a creative social enterprise that brings heart, skill, and compassion to everything they do.

Whether it's a perfectly tailored outfit for a client living with a disability, or a custom-made support cushion to ease the strain of daily living activities, StitchCraft proves that care isn't just about what we do — it's also about how we make people feel.

A Social Enterprise with a Purpose

Sewn Together With Love isn’t just a tailoring business — it’s a movement. Based in Nova Scotia, the organization focuses on empowering women and marginalized communities through training, employment, and healing-focused work. They’ve created a unique model that combines custom tailoring and quilting services with education and social support.

Their StitchCraft division, located in Truro, provides a full range of tailoring, quilting, and design services. They specialize in adapting clothing for persons living with disabilities, modifying garments to meet mobility, dignity, and comfort needs. This goes hand in hand with what we aim to do at Remember When HealthCare — ensure that our clients feel confident, comfortable, and seen.

Meeting Practical Needs with Creativity and Compassion

Everyday tasks like dressing, grooming, and mobility are part of activities of daily living — and they have a big impact on a person’s dignity and independence. For many seniors and differently abled individuals, off-the-rack clothing doesn’t meet their needs. That’s where StitchCraft steps in.

They help with:

• Adaptive clothing for people who use wheelchairs or mobility aids

• Tailoring garments to accommodate medical devices or dressings

• Custom quilts that provide comfort and warmth during recovery or end-of-life care

• Designing supportive items like lap blankets, cushions, or weighted shawls for anxiety

These custom pieces do more than serve a function — they remind people they are valued.

Supporting Home Healthcare Through Community

For home healthcare companies like Remember When HealthCare, having a partner like StitchCraft strengthens our ability to offer whole-person care. When a client is receiving disability support, or navigating recovery after surgery or illness, it's often the little things — like a robe that’s easy to get on with limited movement, or pants that allow access to a wound dressing — that make a huge difference.

We often refer clients to StitchCraft for:

• Adaptive clothing solutions

• Emotional support items like memory quilts

• Adjustments to favourite items that clients no longer fit or can manage alone

• Repairs to cherished clothing that bring comfort and connection

  
  

By offering these referrals, we help reduce barriers and support independence.

Promoting Economic Empowerment & Inclusion

Sewn Together With Love is also focused on building sustainable careers for women, particularly newcomers, BIPOC women, and women healing from trauma. Every product is handmade in Nova Scotia by someone whose life has been touched by resilience and strength.

Their workshop is a welcoming space where healing happens through creation. It’s more than sewing — it’s storytelling through fabric, strength stitched into seams, and confidence woven into every thread.

By choosing StitchCraft, you're not only getting a custom-made product — you’re investing in a business that promotes equity, justice, and healing.

StitchCraft and the Future of Care

We believe that partnerships like these are the future of home healthcare — where community, creativity, and compassion come together to support people with dignity and joy. StitchCraft Tailoring & Quilting and Sewn Together With Love show us that healthcare isn’t just clinical — it’s personal, emotional, and rooted in love.

As we continue to grow and serve more clients, we’re proud to highlight and uplift this incredible organization. We encourage our clients, families, and fellow community members to support them as well.
