Fashion designer sews masks during coronavirus pandemic

ChaCha N. Hudson, CEO of the SEWcial Café, a fashion coworking space, has been sewing fabric masks nonstop. Though cloth masks do not provide full protection against virus particles, the Centers for Disease Control is now recommending Americans who need to go outside wear face masks to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

ChaCha N. Hudson, CEO of the SEWcial Café, makes fabric face masks at her fashion coworking space in Philadelphia's Harrowgate section on Friday, April 3, 2020. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Hudson began sewing cloth masks starting the last week of March and estimates she has made about 400 so far.
