Quarantine Sewing — Episode 36

---

We’re talking sewing in quarantine (what else would we talk about?) – how to use sewing for self care, and how you can use your skills to sew your support. We also get into how we’re weathering the stay-at-home paradigm and what our isolation wardrobes are like.

Other Notes

#SewYourRollUpdate

Due to the difficulty of getting new fabric right now, we’re extending our deadline to participate for giveaway eligibility until May 31. That may change in the future, depending on how things go in the next few weeks. Also note that participation doesn’t require an actual project! If you just can’t get what you need, sketch out your roll instead. 

Suggested Steps Before Sewing Masks

1. Check with local hospitals and health organizations. 
2. Find out what they need specifically (or if they need anything at all!) 
3. Make note of their specific requests – pattern, fabric and details.
