Plainfield United Methodist Church - Masks for Individual and Non-medical Use

It has been recommended that persons moving about in the general community wear a cotton mask to cover their mouth and nose. While these masks do not provide 100% protection from the COVID-19 virus, they can be an additional layer of protection when you go to the grocery or run essential errands while also maintaining six feet of “social distance” from others. These masks should be washed after every outing to increase effectiveness
PUMC invites those who would like to sew these masks – either new or experienced sew-ers – to make masks for those who need them. PUMC will then distribute them to the following persons who have need - -
PUMC invites those who would like to sew these masks – either new or experienced sew-ers – to make masks for those who need them. PUMC will then distribute them to the following persons who have need - -
- PUMC members and attenders
- Those we serve through ongoing hunger alleviation ministries
- Others who contact the church looking for assistance
How-To Help
You can make masks for distribution.
Quarter inch and eighth inch elastic is in short supply. Seamstresses have gotten creative with old T-shirts, bias tape, or fabric to make ties. Some sources use a wire for the nose piece. While it may be helpful, it is not mandatory. Some have used 2 twist ties, while others have used floral wire or pipe cleaners. If you don’t have it, don’t worry about it.
You can donate materials.
- The flat, pleated mask is the easiest and most common to make. This link is one way to make them. Here is a pattern using bias tape ties. There are other ways to construct – just find the best way for you. The internet is full of ideas!
