Heroes & Helpers –

As hospitals run out of masks, gowns and other PPE to keep medical workers safe, local creatives in Seattle and across the world are pitching in from behind their sewing machines, flooding social media with photos of homemade masks dotted with flowers and patterns. Groups across the nation have started virtual sewing circles to create masks and protective gowns, forming an ad hoc army of volunteers responding to the medical community’s calls for help.
