We're now advised to wear a face-covering when we go to the shops, on public transport or in areas where we can't #socialdistance. We're on a mission to make sure that everybody has a face-covering . . And we need YOUR help to do it! #BigCommunitySew bigcommunitysew.co.uk
43/100 Face coverings Wearing a re-usable cloth face covering will prevent more single-use plastic. @bigcommunitysew has info on how to make your own face covering easily at home. If a face covering is not washable, is worn out or disposable, put it in the rubbish bin. #100Day
We made our first delivery of cat carrier covers & mats to @RSPCABirmingham this week. Charlotte at the RSPCA made 40 herself but we hope to help by making regular deliveries from now on. These covers help improve the welfare for animals at the RSPCA. Can you help make these? 🐈

The Govt may decide mask wearing will no longer be compulsory but I shall continue wearing them. I made these today using @paddygrant patterns @bigcommunitysew #CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory

Having made 65 face coverings last year for all manner of folks thanks to @bigcommunitysew (think I can do them in my sleep now), I thought it was “needles up” on them for me. Turns out, 2 more were needed! They seem pleased with their bespoke cats and airplanes at least 😅
