23.01.2022 Handmade reusable masks are available again after selling out. Jemimah is happy to take custom orders and patterns and edging colours can be mixed and matched. The masks are modelled on surgical masks, with cotton ties instead of elastic, making them easier to wear for longer periods of time and preventing ear irritation. The masks follow DHHS guidelines and are machine washable. Call Charlton Medical on (03) 5477 6888 if you would like to reserve a particular colour or pattern.
