A COMPANY headed-up by an Oxenhope woman is helping to produce embroidery kits for people to create their own personalised face masks.
Charlotte Meek, founder of The Stitch Society, has teamed-up with embroidery artist Modern Floss for the initiative.
The Stitch Society – based at Salts Mill in Saltaire – began making masks, using remnants from its apron manufacturing process, during the first lockdown and donated profits from sales to NHS charities.
Now Charlotte is producing the embroidery kits – which include all the components for a personalised mask – with Modern Floss founder, Charlotte Taylor-Frape, whom she first met at a craft fair in 2019.
Ms Taylor-Frape said: “We think the face mask as an accessory is going to be with us for a while and anything we can do to make the experience of living in the new world alongside Covid-19 a little more cheerful has got to be a good thing.”
The kits are available via thestitchsociety.com.
