African Fabrics Brighten Masks
Haslett; Michigan; United States
I started sewing masks in March. My daughter is a medical resident at the Cleveland Clinic. When we were discussing this pandemic and the shortage of PPE, I discussed this with her and said "this is a smaller hospital problem, right - surely the Cleveland Clinic will have enough supplies?" and her answer at the time was "well, maybe". In an effort to feel like I was doing something for her and other medical providers, I got busy and started sewing. I have sent her several masks as well as made them for several families and friends. Since mine are made from beautiful African fabrics, I just received a request today to send more of them to Cleveland since everyone wants those colorful masks.
Sample of the masks I've made from African fabrics I have - April 2020.
