🎊Happy Graduation Class of 2021!🎊 Our Aunti

🎊Happy Graduation Class of 2021!🎊

Our Aunties are sewing masks for graduates of East LA College who are mostly working class and deeply impacted by the pandemic. They are still needed!

"Now that we are all fully vaccinated, the Peaceweavers' sweatshop is back up and running! Dolores Carlos and Kathleen Smith have vintage Singer 221s. Patty on the left has a handcrank Singer 128 La Vencedora from 1919, and I am using an early 60s Singer 237. We love our vintage Singers! #wegodownsewing" -- Auntie Lorena

🍄What are we doing with our scraps? And when you make 300K masks, there are A LOT OF SCRAPS!!!🍄

"I was so taken with Mai-Linh Hong’s post about the beautiful gesture from her neighbor with her mask scraps. What a great keepsake from such a crazy time.
With the light at the end of the tunnel in sight with vaccinations and CDC’s latest mask announcement, we may get to retire soon.

I built a 2x3 loom and am making my own keepsake."

-- Auntie Lisa

For those who want to make your own loom:

🚨 HELP!! WE ARE STILL LOOKING! Are you a MATCH

🚨 HELP!! WE ARE STILL LOOKING! Are you a MATCH for our Auntie Sally? 🚨

Auntie Sally made hundreds of lifesaving masks during the pandemic, but now she needs a stem cell transplant to save her life!

If you are 18-44, TEXT "RallyForSally" to 61474 and a test kit will be sent directly to you. It's a simple cheek swab. YOU COULD BE HER MATCH!

POC are grossly underrepresented in the National Registry so it's critical everyone be tested so everyone can be helped!

❤️PLEASE POST WIDELY!!! WE LOVE OUR AUNTIE SALLY!!❤️

❤️❤️MEET THE ORIGINAL LAZY BABY-- JUNI!❤

❤️❤️MEET THE ORIGINAL LAZY BABY-- JUNI!❤️❤️

We call Juni the "Lazy Baby" because while all of us were working our asses off during this pandemic trying to sew and coordinate mask donations to farmworkers (which is what Juni's mom Super Auntie Laura did while nursing), Juni just sat around looking cute.

Sure Juni hadn't yet learned to walk or talk yet, but was that really a legitimate excuse for not learning how to use a fabric power saw or serger? We think not! Hence-- LAZY BABY!

Anyway, even though Juni has yet to finish sewing ONE mask, we still honor her as the "OG LAZY BABY" and we congratulate her mother on finally awakening her interest in sewing, as pictured here...

Oh yes, and while you don't know how to thread a needle yet, we congratulate Lazy Baby on learning to walk and talk during the pandemic. I guess we can't learn ALL the talents in the first year of life can we? 😍😍😍

When Aunties collide! Our Aunties were mostly strangers before the pandemic but this labor of sewing for other strangers has brought together new friendship. Here's a picture of Aunties Kathleen and Adriane!

"Spent a wonderful morning extended walk with Arianne, another Auntie from my hometown . What a treat to connect and learn about each other. We both grew up in Hayward and have so many connections. Turns out we both work in higher education and for the same system. Love getting to know you and talking about work, sewing, sewing outside of masks and just about life in general. Was a lovely way to start my weekend with another Auntie!!! This was great Auntie Care ❤ Thank you, Arianne for suggesting we meet!" -- Auntie Kathleen

❤️❤️Our Auntie Kathie is a BEAST on the sewing machine! She just finished making 1400 masks!! Total is now 4085 for Auntie donations & 4650 total. ❤️❤️

She's given 565 masks family, neighbors, friends, a dog rescue (Angel City Pit Bulls) & Revolutionario North African Tacos to distribute to Korean elderly.

We were so happy to see this post from our friends

We were so happy to see this post from our friends at TEJAS a couple of weeks ago! This organization serves a "fenceline" community and their goal is to promote environmental protection through education, policy development, community awareness, and legal action.

Learn more about them at https://www.tejasbarrios.org/

"We are proud recipients of Reusable Masks made by Auntie Sewing Squad. ❤️ The aunties volunteered their skills to provide free masks for our communities. Find us at the Immigrant Rally today distributing more. #maskuphou "
