Academy Costumer Rallies Efforts to Sew Masks for Local Hospitals and Areas in Need

March 25, 2020

 

Lindsay Patton, teacher and costumer for Academy Youth Theatre and Community Through Theatre productions at the Academy Center of the Arts, is now using her talents to assemble and sew masks for our local hospitals and areas in need.

 

If you have the skills and the supplies, we encourage you to email Lindsay to join her in efforts to assist our community health providers, today!

 


 

A Message from Lindsay Patton:

 

We are looking for people to sew masks for local hospitals and other local areas in need. Here are some helpful tutorials on how to make face masks. At the moment we are looking for masks made of 100% cotton fabric with 1/4-1/8 inch elastic or ties. We are not including interfacing or nose wires at this time. We are also accepting fabric and elastic donations. The plan is to begin collecting finished masks on Thursday, March 26th. If you are in need of supplies, Joann’s has been giving free kits to customers.

If you would like to pledge to make masks, email [email protected].
