Working at her downtown Norwalk shop, called “& Sew Much More,” Barb Ornes works on sewing elastic to a cloth mask.
Since March, Ornes has sewn 445 cloth masks, some of which went to Morrow Home in Sparta, and others will go to Scenic Bluffs Community Health Centers.
Ornes accepts donations for the masks, and then gives the proceeds to the Norwalk-Ontario-Wilton School District lunch program. To date, she has donated $700 toward the program and is nearing $1,000 in proceeds.
Ornes is accepting donations of 100-percent cotton fabric and 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch elastic. For more information, contact the shop at (608) 797-7873.
