Face mask sewing for hospitals, social workers and carers

in Brno and its greater area

Brno is currently lacking disposable face masks for nursing homes or social workers in the field. Until the supplies resume, we will sew, collect, disinfect, pack and distribute masks, where it is needed the most. If you are an field worker, social worker or work in the health services and you need a mask, contact us.

It is not in our capabilities to sew for individuals; the priority is given to the organisations that care for the people at risk. Thank you for your understanding.

Live: We need more fabrics! Do you want to sew, but lack the material? We will deliver it to you, please let us know.

About face masks

• How to use and handle the masks?
• Attention, do not "sterilise" the masks in the microwave, they might start to burn!

How should the mask look like?

• The fabric and cords have to be 100% cotton, so we can disinfect and reuse them.
• You can sew a DIY mask e.g. following these instructions.
• There is no need to shrink the fabric in advance and the threads can also be polyester.

Help us directly in our sewing workshop!

Over the past week, several volunteer sewing workshops have been established in Brno and its surroundings, where the material for face masks goes.

• Industra, Mastná 9
• IQ Roma, Bratislavská 7
