These are not for hospital use but for their employees performing other Covid related services that the Heath department is involved in.
I sewed 5 of those burgundy shade gowns. Unfortunately the fabric was some nasty polyester cr__. It's not what I'd call "fun" sewing but if it helps I'm willing to pitch in.
So that picture was taken a month or so ago. The health department liked / needed the gowns so much they asked us to make some more. Here's my silly DH modeling a gown from the second batch.
As you can see he's not shy!
The gals who are coordinating the project asked if people with sergers could sew 10 gowns as the finished edges are a must with this flimsy material and sergers are the ideal machine for that purpose.
I have a serger. Kind of a leftover from my garment sewing days. lol
I never named this machine. But since I've spent so much time with 'her' lately I might have to! My old Long arm machine was "Nelly Bell". A node to the old TV show Sky King. My new Long Arm came with the name "Lucy" which I like to think of as Lucy MacGillycuddy.
Maybe, Cleo, that has a nice ring, it was the name of the basset hound that talked only to the Camera in that old TV show. I think the show was called The Peoples Choice?!
That certainly dates me!
Why do I remember stuff like that and I can't even remember where I left my keys! grrrrrr!
Well I haven't gotten much other sewing done lately....
But I have High hopes for next week!!
Stay safe and healthy,
and take care, cw
