Angel Wraps and Gowns

The loss of a baby is emotionally overwhelming for the parents. Having a handmade wrap or gown that their baby wore is an irreplaceable keepsake.

Angel Wraps

Used for a mid-pregnancy loss when the baby is too fragile and small to dress
May be knitted, crocheted or sewn
Finished size should be about a 9 inch square, before the lace or edging
Please line all wraps with a separate piece of white flannel.
