with printable pattern & video tutorial In Spanish and English During the Covid-19 pandemic, makers are stepping up to support community members, workers, and volunteers with homemade face masks. Talent Maker City is supporting this by coordinating supplies and lending machines to makers. They've asked me to make a tutorial and it has been a privilege to work on this! Medical professionals in our area of Southern Oregon are not accepting homemade masks yet, but are in critical need of medical supply donations such as surgical masks, n95 respirators, latex free gloves, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting wipes. Contact makeit@talentmakercity.org to pick up supplies or borrow a sewing machine in order to make masks for our community. A deep thank you...
