Blackpool designer is helping carers work stylishly with fashionable face masks.
The former Blackpool and The Fylde College student has taken to her sewing machine to churn out reams of colourful face masks , instead of her usual job of making wedding dresses and gowns.
She is handing them out free to people working working in a variety of caring roles from doctors' receptionists to paramedics.

Hide AdHer sewing skills sprung into action when her sister, who works in the care industry, told her about a shortage of masks.
Corrinne had lots of fabric and worked round-the-clock producing the masks.
"So far she's made 160, which have been snapped up by teachers, paramedics, nurses and receptionists at doctors' surgeries.
She said: "I just wanted to let these people know that I appreciate what they do and wanted to look after them, so I will just keep on sewing them until I run out of fabric."

"The course taught me all the techniques I needed and the skills, but most of all it gave me confidence to believe in myself and what I can do."
