if I may....................

Due to a national shortage of scrubs in hospitals there has been an appeal for seamstresses to lend their skills and help.
I am involved with a group of amazing people who are keen to pitch in and make scrubs for our local hospital, Pinderfields.
This appeal is to help raise some money to cover the cost of the materials and patterns needed.
The more materials we can purchase then the more scrubs we can make!!
Please help us to do a little bit to help those brave people working hard on the frontline.
Thank you, Amy - Thornhill Sewing and Craft Club


edit..............

it seems that this group are well set up they have purchased 150 metres of the blue material for scrubs...

re edit the initial go fundme was for £250 they now have £964...... dey izz gonna be bizzy.....

I pinched the websites from a village group making scrubs for the Royal Berkshire Hospital and it looks as thought the pattern for the bag is from a Brighton group.

There are stitching groups round my way - I've been making bags.
Some have set up one person industries. It's a war effort.
Would be nice if the government acknowledged this industry for the future and funded it.
