HOSPITAL GOWNS

To address the shortage of hospital gowns during the COVID 19 pandemic, sewing groups have been asked to assemble gowns for our local hospital workers.

The gown pieces arrived ready to sew together with everything included except the thread. Mary has 25 gowns to make and each gown takes about an hour to assemble.

Mary set up her work area so that all the pieces were in easy reach of her sewing machine.

She used an old drying rack to organize the pieces making it easy to simply reach back and grab what's needed. In total the sewing club here has been asked to make 450 gowns.

It will be a few days before all 25 gowns are complete but the project is going smoothly and I'm sure our frontline workers will appreciate the extra supply of protective gowns.

Stay safe and well everyone and thanks for stopping by.

    Thanks We are safe and healthy so far. Mary has another 6 gowns to complete. Her sewing group has completed 425 gowns so far. You live in a beautiful state and we are planning to visit again when I turn 75. Thanks again to all the frontline workers who are making personal sacrifices to keep everyone safe and well.
