Fabric Masks Offer Threads of Hope

Connecting the needs of the healthcare community with the talents of those who sew.

With the shortage of protective masks facing the entire world, fabric masks are a CDC crisis response last resort option. This website connects healthcare organizations who are versed in the potential use of fabric masks in their environment with volunteer sewists who are sewing masks using their own machine and supplies. Our goal is to provide a resource to the medical community, as well as answer the desire from sewists willing to use their skills. In a time of fear and uncertainty, the desire to help is the thread of hope that holds us together. This project was developed independently by the Sewing & Craft Alliance, presenters of the September is National Sewing Month campaign.
