FACE MASK UPDATE 3/30/20

Munson Hospital IS now asking for masks, and the need is urgent! Nurses from Munson Hospital have contacted me and requested our help! Masks are also needed for first responders.

There are a lot of face mask patterns floating around out there, and not all of them will be useful to our caretaker heroes! No one wants to invest time, energy or stash making something that can't be used.

Per these nurses' feedback - please don't make masks with elastic ear loops - their ears are being rubbed raw - and the elastic will not hold up to the repeated washings with sterilization products used! Ties are preferred. No flannel - it is too hot. Masks with a pocket - in which they can place a filter - are also preferred. These masks will be worn over the N95 masks to extend the length of time the N95 masks can be used.

LET'S PUT THOSE STASHES TO GOOD USE!

Approved Patterns, vetted by medical professionals: (click to open and save or print, free to share) Pocket Mask with Ties from InterQuilten (Video coming soon!)		No Stash? Need a kit?
