Helping our community in hard times

Mask Mission

Giving back has always been a part of the Splash Fabric philosophy, so when the pandemic struck in March of 2020 my family and I took what we do as a family and a company, and turned it into a way to help our community- the Splash Fabric Mask Mission! 

Here I am with my husband, David, and grown boys Axel, Simon & Miles. We were in front of our house where starting in March 2020 we worked on our Mask Mission together, bringing over 150,000 masks to your faces.

We also donated over 63,000 masks!

The need was great, the stories were heart-wrenching and inspiring.

Here’s how it started: as a maker, when the pandemic hit Seattle hard, I started making masks out of Napkin fabric I had on hand. Sewing could finally actually save lives!

We pivoted from concentrating on our line of eco-friendly fabric and homegoods to shipping and donating thousands of masks everyday. 

Not only that, but because we were uniquely situated to connect sewers, customers, and those in need of donations, Splash Fabric’s Mask Mission was able to expand its reach far beyond our small local business.

Crafters against Covid

We found the perfect donation partner in Candace Frank and her group, Crafters Against Covid19.

Candace and her amazing network mobilized local crafters with supplies, patterns and motivational deadlines to make masks to donate for health care and to the essential workers and underserved among us. 

We donated fabric (over 1,800 yds) and our shop cutter to cut the pieces for kits that were given to the workforce of local home stitchers who stitched them up. 

They have an impressive network of volunteers who made and distributed kits, sewed them, and then collected and dropped them off. They donated over 100,000 masks!!!

Mask Mission

Because of the support of customers and our incredible network, we donated over 63,000 masks to community organizations, healthcare workers, houseless people, refugees and elders. 

I’m so grateful that Splash Fabric was able to respond to the pandemic in a meaningful way and thank all who joined us. Thank You!
