Headbands for Nurses.

The drawstring bags are to take their used uniform home in for laundering.

Their poor faces. It showed a pic in the newspaper yesterday of one nurse's face and it looked for all the world as though it was blistered. Not good when germs can enter sores.

These protective shields shouldn't be mass-produced on a " one size fits all " basis as it's obvious that everyone's a different shape. Goes for gowns too where there's too much slack and trousers trailing along floors.

Ellan the masks that my old school is producing at a rate of two hundred a day are adjustable for that very reason !
I’m very proud.

That's good to hear Lucca, well done to them.

Two of my previous schools are doing the same.

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Not your lovely efforts. The 4th most wealthy country in the world?

Not when it comes to the health and welfare of its nursing staff, Greymar

My sister has been sewing the laundry bags and has been asked to do some scrubs. Not sure if the material is provided.

Times like this I wish I was more practical. I’m rather cack handed although I used to own a sewing machine.....

There’s a much simpler way of easing the sore ears caused by masks. A paper clip! Definitely no sewing involved.

I have been making masks with ties instead of elastic. I make my own bias fold tape from fabric cut off grain, bind the top and bottom of the mask with plenty left over for the ties, and stitch the sides including the pleats. Seems to fit better than those with elastic.
