Rainy days call for indoor activities! Packing orders, sorting fabric, cutting patterns and having a chat! Thank you, ladies for coming over and helping in the morning shift at the Dronfield Civic Hall today. 💜🥰 @YourDronfield @Lee4NED #volunteers

@paddygrant We have made 1,000 masks!!!! Well, I cut the fabric & did the marketing and my friend Andrea (not on Twitter) did all the sewing! Here’s 300 of them for one company, but we did hundreds of individuals for orders in the uk and Germany! Can we claim our hug please? 🙏

A final salute as we deliver roast lunch from the Watermill Inn to the amazing nurses and dr’s at St. George’s Hospital. They have worked tirelessly and above and beyond over these last few months - without question or complaint. You are truly amazing! ❤️🌈🥰#NHSheroes #COVID19

Taking part in our #BigCommunitySew isn't just about helping each other. Sewing can improve our own physical and #mentalhealth too!
