Question

I am currently sewing masks for Edward Hospital, but running out of 100% cotton. Joanne Fabrics and Amazon are really hit or miss at this point. If anyone has some laying around that is not being used, and would like to donate for a great cause could you pm me? Even all cotton mens shirts would work:)

Answer 1

Try finding cotton sheets. I’ve heard people are having good luck with them.

@dregs even just flat sheets that people have laying around in their linen closets. I think I got rid of all mine but I will check.  

---

@outside I’ve seen people using the fitted as well taking advantage of the elastic in them.  

---

@dregs that’s a good idea for the elastic.  

---

@outside I though so too.  

Answer 2

Pillow cases also

@champlin15 I’ve used up all those great ideas! Thank you ladies

@amplitude7599 I have a set of double size sheets brand new never open you are welcome to them. I am in bolingbrook high school if you would like them you are welcome

Answer 3

100% cotton is totally breathable. 60-80% of particles will pass through. Poly is fine.  

Answer 4

Does anyone know what Edward is doing with the home made masks? I was there today and not allowed in with mine on. They made me out a surgical mask over it.

@tremann I heard they were giving to the people that work and the desks and workers transport people throughout the hospital. There is a special door that you need to drop them off at.  

---

They can wear them over the N95 and other masks.  

---

@tuberose is that what they are doing?  

---

@tuberose correct, if it’s a certain pattern. Those need to be made differently I believe. Either way, they are all for a good cause

@tremann yes, thats what ive been told.
