| No, these are NOT bikinis! |
As of last night I have officially jumped onto the
mask-making train, although
I have no idea how many
I will make, or whether the design will evolve.
Working with some gorgeous Batik cotton fabrics
saved from my quilting stash
of years ago makes me smile,
as I love their intense colors
and abstract designs.
I was recently given some face masks
with elastic ear loops which
I found very uncomfortable and unreliable
(popping off in WalMart, of all places!!!).
Maybe my ears aren't attached very well.
Who knew???
So, I chose to make up some
two- (four-) tie designs.
(My inspiration was from
Amanda Perna's YouTube
on how to construct masks.)
With three deep pleats, the reversible masks
cover/fit very well from the bridge of the nose
(even without wire inserts)
to under the chinny-chin chin,
depending upon how much you fan out the pleats.
I also included a layer of thick interfacing,
allowing acceptable breatheability
always is a good thing!
They can be hand-washed in soap and hot water.
Maybe machine washed too?
I'll have to try it.
I am very glad that I had my trusty old
Singer Stich n' Sew
tuned up about six months ago.
Perfect timing!!!
