Covid Coping - Making masks


A friend of mine just emailed and asked if I know how to sew. Apparently there is a need for people to make masks. You can find several articles if you Google the topic.

I found this link:

Ironically, a couple days ago, I was thinking about the ladies during the civil war who needed to roll bandages and wondered if there would be anything similar to that during our current event.

Onward.

We just found out that the local county hospital has kits for people to make masks - they supply all the materials and people who can sew donate their time. So, if you are interested in helping in your area you might call your local hospitals and see if there is something similar going on.
