Staying safe while lookin' good! 😎😷

Aunty Lenore Dembski, who runs a small fabric store in Darwin, says it's been a hive of activity since she started making masks.

The national demand for masks has helped her business to bounce back after a tough start to 2020.

Aunty Lenore, a Kungarakan woman, works with a small team and loves sharing her lifelong passions of sewing and design.

"It's really important to pass on skills." 🧵🧶
