Our sewing community is being called on to help offset the shortage of face masks for our health care workers.  These masks are not a substitute for N95 face masks but will be a valuable resource for our local hospitals and healthcare facilities. 

Please consider donating your time, skills, and materials to this important cause.

We are sharing some video tutorials and documentation here, but please feel free to do research on your own and make changes as you see fit.
