More Masks

My sister is going back to work in August so I made some more masks to send to her. 
Next I need to hurry and finish my houses quilt top because there is another crocheted afghan pattern I found that is screaming to be made.
Happy Stitching

More masks

I am up to 125 masks now.  I was thinking of a goal of 150 total but I only have 6 more white masks cut and ready to sew.  It's not a bad thing to have to go dig through my fabric stash except for the amount of time it takes me to decide what fabric to cut next.

Day of mask production

10 masks made in one day (05-01)!
I did have a lot of prep work done already - cutting, ironing and pinning so I didn't start from scratch.  My Singer 301 is flying through these masks.  The day went so fast.
I have made a total of 99 masks (really? - I couldn't finish just one more yesterday).  I have given away 79 masks but I am hoping for another pick up next week.
Have a great weekend, everyone, and try to work some stitching time into your days.

19 more masks

These are masks that I have made since 04-26.
I am digging through my stash to find more white fabric.
It's over 100 degrees down in the valley so I think the colorful masks may start being to hot to wear - the white fabric at least will reflect the heat more than the other colors.
If I had know how long it was going to take to make enough masks I would have started with the white fabric when I made the first mask on 04-04.
My total so far is up to 89 masks and I have a pick up scheduled for tomorrow and perhaps another one next week.
Stay cool

My total is now up to 70 and 61 have been given away.
Stitch on ♥

Masks 04-20

Here are some more masks that I have made.
I have more to make but my household chores are very neglected so I will see where tomorrow leads me.
Stay safe and healthy

Face Masks - my favorite pattern

This is my new favorite pattern for making face masks - click here
There are a couple of assembly tips that work for me:
1.  When you find the middle of each side, tack a couple of stitches to hold the center point before you press the pleat into place in step 15 and 16 so there is no need to pin the center.  With the iron I press the pleat in place and then I can sew the side without any pins.  I seem to pin myself more than the fabric when using pins, much like I iron my fingers as much as I iron fabric any more.
2.  In step 17 I do not stitch the top and bottom of the mask  (I only stitch down each side).  I use a tie that starts out at 1.5 inches and make a double fold.  I sew the tie over the raw edges at the top and bottom.
I can't seem to be able to access my google photos to show a picture right now so I will have to figure that out later
