Gotcha Covered

Just like everyone else in world, I am sewing masks; so much has changed in the past week. A friend told me that this is the WW2 equivalent of rolling bandages for the war effort, we're all fighting a vastly different type of war this time. I stitched masks until I ran out of elastic and then took to sewing fabric ties. The pattern that I used was this one, distributed by my LQS at the request of one of the employees, her husband is a Pulmonologist at a local hospital in desperate need, where these masks will be delivered*.  I've been finishing up and doing other things too while staying at home (are these the days for which we've been stockpiling supplies and fabric?) and hope to start posting some cheer-filled, short posts on a daily basis beginning tomorrow. Please stay safe, be healthy and wash your hands. 🧼

Life is Good!

* Disclaimer: As Annie so perfectly advises in the comment below, : "they have limitations as a viral barrier. Medical personnel know this, but if you’re giving them to untrained people, make sure you let the wearer know they won’t offer the protection they get from commercial ones (which are unavailable)". As far as I understand  it, the recipients of these homemade masks plan to use them in combination with other viral barriers in the hospital setting.
