Calling all tailors, seamstresses, seamsters, sewists, needle masters, anyone who sews – now is your moment! We are coordinating efforts to sew COVID-19 protection masks for organizations in need. We have requests for hundreds already.
On Saturdays we gather to address questions and problems and troubleshoot difficulties. Come in to ask questions or offer your experience and advice to those with questions. Together we do better!
