Our local health care providers could use our help! There is a shortage of protective masks. Until supplies are restored, hand-made masks are being distributed to those who need them the most. There is an urgent need for more masks ASAP.
If you are willing to join by sewing masks, register below. Our community is using a standardized design. Once you have registered, someone will be in touch to share those specifications and discuss safe delivery of the masks. Donations of 100% cotton, higher thread-count pillowcases, sheets or fabric, as well as 1/8″ and/or 1/4″ flat elastic are also needed. Donations can be indicated on the registration form.

I need to go home to get my sewing machine and would like to know how long it takes in hours for a straight line seamstress to make a batch. Needing to plan logistics. 😉

Great question! For myself, the cutting takes the longest…
As for the sewing bit, once you have the tucks figured out (I found them fussy in the beginning) sewing from start to finish takes about 10 minutes. That time can be again cut if you make say, 10 at a time:) Many thanks for helping out our community!!
