MASK MAKING
After making some masks to donate locally plus considering the newest CDC suggestion for everyone to wear a mask when outdoors....I've geared up. I've got a roduction line to create them for family/friends, but I still can't help color/pattern coordinating for each person.
No elastic so I'm making ties.....finally turned off the steam on my iron after buring my fingers about 50 times. Why did it take me that long to figure out such a simple solution?!?

I'm making a few too. Today I am custom making masks for myself and my husband to fit us exactly.
I'm about to start. Which pattern are you using for the masks. (I scrolled back in your feeds but could not see that reference, sorry if I missed it.)
This is the pattern link I'm using.....I have tweaked it a bit.....using the 4" guide on the pattern, the sizes seem big if one added 1/4" s/a.....so I don't. I also don't use ribbon ties......instead I make fabric ones.....time consuming but unless you have twill tape I think most ribbon products will be too slippery. To me, these fit much better and are more comfortable than the pleated ones. I was using some dense flannel for my layers but I've run out....back to using a printed white/beige batik.....allowing the wearer to know which side is out.
Sorry....I forgot to add the linke.....dah....my mind is going mushy.
