First off, THANK YOU FOR WANTING TO MAKE SOMETHING! Seriously, we know how truly bizarre it is that we are sewing face masks for health care workers. And it's really made us question everything we thought we knew about living in the good old US of A. But here we are. There is so much information out there about the style and type of mask that various health care providers may use.

Bridge City celebrates the twelve bridges that arc over the Willamette River, ferrying industry and buoying Portland's rich culture of artists and dreamers. We'll be featuring all three chapters - kicking things off on February 8, 2020 with Chapter I. Chapter I: Inscribed speaks to these structural feats that define Portland. Dynamic fabrics manifest, graffiti-like and effortless in striking colorwork and raised textural motifs. Four...

Because we are huge fans of Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and Vice Mayor Alanna Mallon we wanted to highlight the “Warm Hearts for Warm Feet Wool Sock Drive”.
