I sew daily now to keep my sanity & cope with this plague & "house arrest".
I've been very busy sewing for our first grandchild due any day now!
I have many projects completed I plan to share!
But first-
I thought I'd share some mask making...
Because I'm a quilter-
and, it's what we do!
It took a while to get in the rhythm, but once I got things going... things started to go quicker.
I downloaded 4 different free patterns shared by fellow quilters.
Since that time- far more (& many simpler) patterns have been posted.
I've completed over 100 masks!
I quickly learned the ones with wire & ties are best for going over the N95 masks
needed by staff within the hospital.
But I also made several dozen with elastic ear bands for casual wear
to be worn about town.
They take far less time to sew!
Soon after,
I got a plea for headbands with buttons:
to protect nurses ears from elastic pressures caused by N95 masks worn all day.
Those masks allowed me to use up my remaining 3/4" & 1" elastic.
I must admit- I was relieved to completely run out of elastic in this house,
but happy to make my contributions.
