Sophie Zawislak Capstone 2025

Posted by Sophia Zawislak in Capstone · Sessa/Spry · Wed on Tuesday, May 27, 2025 at 4:27 pm

For my capstone, I crocheted beanies and bonding squares for newborns and donated them to Mother’s Home, a women’s shelter in Upper Darby. This place provides shelter and support for pregnant women in crisis who choose to have their babies, helping them transition into motherhood. Items like bonding squares are especially important for babies in the NICU, where direct contact with their mothers may be limited. These squares are used in pairs, one is kept with the mother and the other with the baby, then they are swapped regularly so the baby can become familiar with the mother’s scent. This supports emotional bonding and healthy development. The beanies help newborns regulate their body temperature, which is something they often struggle with after birth. I started learning how to crochet as a sophomore in high school, so this project allowed me to combine a personal hobby with meaningful community service.

This foundation works with other hospitals in the Philadelphia area with donations. On their website they have patterns for people to follow to make donations, I used their preemie hat pattern.
