Sewing Hobby Becomes Critical Health Effort

For Tammy Pham, she never thought her sewing skills would one day be put to use to make potentially life-saving equipment.

But as the COVID-19 crisis deepened in Michigan in March, Pham, from suburban Detroit, turned a pastime into a purpose by making face masks to help limit the spread of the coronavirus.

Pham, 32, founder of So I Sew Detroit, isn’t alone in the effort. People around the country are pitching in and sewing homemade masks for their communities.

We hope you’re staying healthy and sane during these unprecedented times. COVID-19 has upended our lives and forced many to get creative in keeping their businesses running, balancing work and home life, and passing time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Communities are coming together while social distancing themselves, and great acts of kindness and help are being carried out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please reach out if you have a positive story to share or know someone who does. If anything, we hope these little stories can help us get through these crazy times, even if just for a little bit.

Focusing on education and getting a good job was instilled in Jabukiak’s upbringing. But two years into her corporate job, she realized she wasn’t happy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
