Nat Makes... Masks

I'm Natasha Jenkins, a theatre and film designer (BBC/ National Theatre/ Odeon/ Schaubühne) and I'm making these masks as a way for me to support myself and others while my industry gets back on it's feet. Masks are made by a team of freelance costume makers, many of whom have been using lockdown to voluntarily sew scrubs for the NHS. We pay our staff the London Living Wage.

All fabric comes from my designers stash- a massive chest filled with prints I've sourced from independent shops and craft fairs*

I'm delighted to be repurposing these unused 100% cotton fabrics into masks for you to own and love!

* Due to demand we have had to buy some fabrics- these are sourced from roll ends wherever possible and if we have to source virgin fabric we support independant craft and fabric shops both in London and the Lake District (the two places I call home!).

Sustainability is something I'm passionate about in my practice so it feels natural to me that nothing is wasted.

Scraps are reused for the sample boards or for future patchwork designs and anything which can't be reused will be recycled.

Our sewing machines are powered by green energy and I will send you your masks in green, 100% rececylable packaging.

As a theatre designer whose livelihood has been adversely affected by Covid-19 I want to make sure these masks give back to others.
With every purchase you make I will donate £1 to a "charity of the week".
See social media for this weeks chairty.

You can nominate a charity, alerting us to causes that are worthy of our attention- just send a message on socials or an email!
