Sewing headbands, spreading ‘sunshine’ to help healthcare workers

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) – We’ve told you about some people making masks to help healthcare workers in need during the coronavirus pandemic. Others are using their talents to make them more comfortable.

Trista Kutcher is sewing headbands with buttons on the side to help nurses and doctors in the Charleston area.

“I don’t want nurses to hurt their ears,” Kutcher said “It’s very easy to put on their heads and put a mask over top.” The elastic on masks can rub on healthcare workers’ ears because of how often they are worn.

You may recognize Kutcher’s name from her popular Instagram page or her previous work at Bitty and Beau’s downtown. She has Down syndrome and is an advocate for people of all abilities.
