Can you help with some urgent sewing for the NHS?

We need your help

Ladies and Gents... Our local hospitals are due to run out of PPE in the next couple of days so right now we need your help! 

Everyone that is not currently making scrubs, please can you stop making bags etc and have a go at making gowns? 

They are made from recycling bags and I am sure we all have a couple of spare recycling bags laying around somewhere in that kitchen cupboard?! 

We are setting a goal of 300 to be made and delivered by this Friday! I'm sure we can smash this.

Our NHS are relying on people like us... Please let us know when you have them ready and we will get them picked up ASAP. Go Go Go... 

(Before anyone asks; yes they are accepting these in the hospital, already confirmed today!

The pattern is on a Facebook post with a video of how to go about it!  Please click here to view.

Best Regards,

Larry Anthony

  1. We have plenty of spare recycling bags that I am very happy to donate to anyone who is making gowns. Unfortunately, I am unable to help make any but would like to help in some way.

    If anyone wants the bags please comment and I'll leave them out for collection (The Old Mill Barnes Lane).
