Well that escalated quickly. We published our Florence Face Mask pattern at the end of last month, hoping it would be helpful. Now, hospitals are actively reaching out to people to beg them to make fabric face masks for their staff.

So obviously, we want to help:

No go and make a bunch. Our healthcare workers are counting on you!
