‘Quinte Community Sewing for Covid19’ was created for individuals interested in sewing face masks, head bands, scrub caps, etc and knitting/crocheting ear savers for our healthcare workers / front line workers to help keep our community safe.
Members have been using their own supplies or items donated to make the items.
We are now short on a few supplies and would appreciate donations of the following items;
– FLAT BUTTONS, 3/4″ or 1″, (the size of a quarter or loonie), colour doesn’t matter. We will be happy to accept jars, bags of buttons and we will do the sorting/pairing of the buttons.
– ELASTIC – – 1/8″ or 1/4″ flat elastic
– BIAS TAPE – extra wide double folded, 5/8″,
– FABRIC – – 100% cotton fabric or sheets to make masks, scrub caps
– cotton – polyester fabric or sheets for head bands, laundry bags, gowns etc.
If people are interested in donating any of the above items they can send an email to
sew4covid19@gmail.com and we will advise the drop off locations or arrange for pick up.
When they send an email please add –‘DONATION of BUTTONS, FABRIC, ELASTIC’ in the subject line.
