Sewing machines....

Just as info...

Our small rural hospital, Havre,Montana (50 miles east of me)...

Put out a public request yesterday, anybody with a sewing machine is asked to make face masks for the hospital. Due to the nationwide shortage!

I would if I could....but I can barely sew a button back on. Lol.

I saw a pattern for this on Facebook, but hadn't heard of any place requesting them. I can sew them, but wasn't sure if this was a real thing or not. Do you have any contact info for the hospital?

Sure, I will look it up

I signed up with Providence on the West coast to make 100, but was sent a message saying that people had stepped up and donated enough N-95 masks for now, at least out here.

Hi greaterexp.

The gal that answered the phone, said "Julie" was the one to ask. I guess, she is in charge of that. The phone number is 406-265-2211 and she will be in tomorrow.
