"The app allows people to offer whatever their skill set is … It's pretty much whatever is within your own means and the app is trying to give people a way to help within their own limitations," she said.
"With COVID and with everyone being effected, people have realised how easy it is to help so it could just be the elderly neighbour next door, or just checking in on someone via phone."
Thank you everyone for your response to our sewing bee call out! There were so many of you that we now have two groups going. For context, a health care worker requested these masks, scrub caps and cloth bags for dirty scrubs to be sewn. The masks will be used by community care workers who are in contact with people who may end up in hospital eg aged care, disability care, social workers etc to give them some protection. We may have more requests coming in so if you can sew, submit a webform. Work in community sector and want masks? Submit a request in same link!
