Dementia Muffs at Dorcas

15th September 2018

On Saturday 15th September, we had an enjoyable, relaxing time creating dementia muffs, both knitted and also out of material. These muffs are often found to have a calming effect on a person suffering from dementia who likes to fiddle with something, as well as helping hands to feel warm & cosy. Three of the group spent time getting to grips with the all-action sewing machine so that a lovely material muff was produced quite speedily. We had fun selecting sensory items to sew onto the muffs from a great selection of buttons, ribbons, cord, etc. & some of us tested the 2 completed muffs out afterwards. They really do feel good. When all are done, they will be given to a nursing home for others to enjoy.
