Old sewing machines put to use in community effort to make medical masks

Pic of Debbie Curran, one of the founders of Masks 4 All Ireland - a community effort which has seen locals pull sewing machines out of attics and reuse forgotten skills.

Old sewing machines have been pulled out of the attic as a community gets stitched up to make masks in order to take the pressure off frontline supplies.

Over 400 face masks have been made in a week as more and more people seamlessly get on board the Masks 4 All Ireland campaign across Meath.
