If you’re in the Purdue area, an EPICS team has put together a new PPE made from housing wrap that can be used to sew isolation gowns and scrub caps. They are looking for people to help cut materials daily and then home sewers to pick up packs of 10 to sew the PPE outfits at home. I just picked up a packet today and have set up shop in the apartment to put this PPE together. They are aiming to make 1000 sets, so if 100 people volunteer to each make a set, we’ll reach that goal quickly! If you’re in the Lafayette area and have a sewing machine, e-mail [email protected] to arrange picking up a set. If you can sew, but don’t have access to a machine, let me know and I may be able to lend you a machine from my department, I have to check with my adviser. If you can’t sew, but are handy with a pair of scissors, consider volunteering to cut material for shift. We can do this together. Bonus puppy for added comfort. . . . . . #sewunited @singersewingcompany #sewing #ppe #covidcrafts #staysafe #stayhome (at West Lafayette, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VAzx1ltmY/?igshid=1oug2xtzgqtkp
