Her good self is about to swap machines .I reckon she'll be glad of the change from masks , she's been sewing in a mask and gloves for two weeks , her hands and face remind me of a welder that I used to work with 😷.

They aren’t very exciting, they're just like a grey pump bag that school kids use . She said that the first 40 /50 should be ready today. I'll be passing them along tomorrow hopefully.

mel b3 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Don't forget that we still have masks guys , if you need one , just shout up👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2020 hiya guys , just a quick update on where your donations have been spent . following a request from nurses in the maternity department at the QE hospital in birmingham , for scrubs bags , lin used some of the materials payed for by yourselves , to make the bags . the bags are so that uniforms can be put into them whilst at work , then carried home more safely , and placed straight into the washing machine when at home (still in the bag). my understanding is so that it helps to avoid bringing anything unwanted home.her good self has made around 50 ish of the bags so far , and i think(i should know shortly) that more bags will be made , and passed on to other departments. heres a couple of pics that were taken this morning . MASKS. the requests for masks have dropped significantly(zero today) over the last few days , so i can only assume , that anyone that needs them , already has them , so this will be a last call for the masks .so if you need masks , shout up now guys , well keep making them for as long as their is a need though. im not sure exactly where we are with funds at the moment (shes not here to ask) , but i know that their is still plenty , and ill bring you up to speed when her good self is here. STAY SAFE GUYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
