ALERT: It is now recommended that everyone wear a mask in public, so TMC is encouraging those who can sew or hand-stitch to make masks for family, friends, neighbors, and your community. In a time of isolation, it’s a great way to support each other, support our tireless healthcare workers, and flatten the COVID infection curve. Stay safe and healthy out there makers.
