Window Masks are reusable cloth masks with a clear plastic panel that can help people communicate with those who are deaf or hard of hearing, in speech therapy, learning to read, or learning a language.

Sewers and others involved with King County’s innovative mask-making project will explain how to make and use window masks, and answer your questions!

This workshop, and accompanying resources, will cover:

• Different styles and materials for window masks.
• How to make these at home with your own sewing machine.
• Tips for individuals and organizations using window masks, on topics including: washing; avoiding fogging of the clear plastic panel; and distribution to those who can use them, even during lockdown conditions.

Sponsored by King County’s free community repair events program. Since repair events have been canceled due to the pandemic, the program’s sew-ers have made window masks for local organizations, as a special COVID assistance project.
