STAFFORD – Students in a clothing construction class are sewing masks for medical staff and other essential workers.
Students from Julie Yonney-Kriebel’s Clothing Construction & Fashion Studio, as well as their friends and family members, have been sewing cotton face masks from home. Headbands were added to help take the pressure off wearer’s ears.
These masks are then donated to a variety of people, including medical staff at local hospitals, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (who requested headbands), Southern Regional’s custodial and maintenance staff, administrative assistants, some U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy members, essential employees at stores, essential employees for the various townships and boroughs, nursing homes, as well as neighbors, family, and friends.
Some of the students included Kayla Saragosa, Reanna Biester, Madison Cronquist, Bridget Green, Jordan Rizzo, Kelsey Pallen, Bailey Procaccini, along with some former graduates, and even the teacher’s young children are helping. FCCLA advisor, Susan Stinson is making masks for the McJagger non-profit and Malinda Danko (a former graduate) is making them for NYC.
