Why wear a face mask?
Our fabric facemasks or face coverings are designed to help you keep protected and protect others when you’re out and about. As of the 15th of July, face coverings are mandatory in Scotland in shops and on public transport – click here to see the latest guidance from the Scottish government. A similar regulation will be implemented in England from the 24th July.
Why choose a reusable face mask?
Buying a washable, reusable face mask reduces waste, compared to buying disposable ones. Buying locally made face masks helps small independant businesses in the UK through this difficult time.
Our stylish face masks also look much classier than a disposable mask, and you can have one to match all your outfits! Our cute unicorn face masks, dinosaur face masks and rainbow face masks are great for encouraging children to wear a mask.
Picture to Puppet
Our usual business is creating custom puppets and soft toys to order. As we’re all professional sewers we wanted to put our skills to use to help people and reduce waste during the pandemic – hence our reusable face mask project!
