Thanks to all those who contributed to this Meetup.
Here's the information, minus all the sewing chat. Please join us on Meetup for this week.
HappyLuckyAlix, who is currently sewing PPE as a volunteer for the Royal
Brompton Hospital at a specially set up workshop, gave information for those in North London who may want to do the same- If
anyone is in NW3 or near and wants to volunteer, a new workroom is being set up
to sew PPE for the Royal Free hospital: go to @thefashionschooluk on IG and
message them if interested.
