Making Masks

So, Corona hits and hospitals are dying for medical protection. There was a movement to make masks for healthcare workers (or others) because they were in short supply. I helped a friend make some and so I decided to get my own 100 masks....You pick up a kit at the DI on Tuesday, follow the instructions and sew them and bring them back on Saturday.  Each kit had 100 masks. 



All the supplies are included but thread.  


Here's the sewing machine I used.  It was my Grandma Lewis' machine.  It did give up the ghost while I was using it.  Good thing we were at Michelle's house and she had two machines we used to finish them.  


I had some help from Michelle


And help from Brooke and Ty.  


Micaela also helped with Sewing but I didn't get a pic of her.  We worked and worked and got all the 100 done.  I had already finished 20 at home so we needed to do 80.  It took about 4 hours with all of us working.  It was fun and I appreciated all their help and I even got them turned in on time.
