Mask-makers sew lifeline for Lynnwood nurses and 1,000s more
LYNNWOOD Susie Snyder is a self-proclaimed fabric freak.
She began her career working for a crew that made sample garments for designers and then spent years overseeing quality control at garment factories in Hong Kong and the Philippines.
Now, during her retirement, she begins every morning at her kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee, a sharp pair of scissors and a stack of fabric from bed sheets to elaborate prints destined to become masks for those who need them the most during the coronavirus pandemic.
Snyder is a member of a Facebook group that started with a Woodinville woman, Nichole Nikki Speaks, who doesnt know how to sew. Speaks founded Gratitude Masks, a group that partnered with Stop The Bug, a larger Seattle-based organization that aims to help protective gear drives across the country communicate, organize and act.
