Covid Preparedness

We've all see the outpouring of folks making masks
for the Covid-19 Pandemic that we are facing.
This is a pattern that was approved for a couple of our hospitals here.
Yes, we know they do not meet the CDC standards, but something 
is certainly better than nothing.
If they get used that's great, if not...
that's even better.

You can sign up and find information for your area at
"Operation We Can Sew It"
With the help of a friend we have churned out 72 for a local hospital, 
along with 12 for a medical clinic and 20 for a concrete company.
To date, I've made 216 yards of bias tape
Man, that's a lot of bias tape.
LOL!!!
My youngest jumped in and did a considerable amount of marking for pleats for me,
 before he booted me off my machine so he could play!

But then...we got to thinking about my special "stash" of 
Alexander Henry fabrics!
Even during a Pandemic, you need a little humor.
Just a little strategic fussy cutting...



and well, lets just say, we've had some fun with these!

"Sew" keep safe, wash your hands and hunker down for a few weeks.
We Can Sew It 
We Can Do It too!

til next time...
Keep on Stitchin'
