We've had a wonderful response from local sewers to the shortage of medical masks. Our Days for Girls chapter volunteers as well as so many others have been cranking out masks in a variety of styles, sharing tips and new patterns, places to get supplies, places to drop off completed masks, etc. There's even a new Facebook group for local mask makers. If you're on our email list, you're probably sick of my recent emails about all of this.
I'm thrilled to see that it's not just a local boom in mask-making, but that it's people who sew all around the country stepping in to help with this need.
Here's an article from the New York Times yesterday.
And while I have your attention . . . no, we won't have a workday on the first Saturday in April. I urge you to work on masks at home though.
