Mask Making

Today I wore a shirt that says "Eat Well, Travel Often," to which my husband added "from room to room in the house."

I don't feel like I did too much today, but I cleaned the whole house, made 2 face masks, and finished season 1 of Mad Men (wow - and there's still 6 more seasons after this?!).

Everyone is making fabric masks right now and sharing patterns, so I combined a few of them to come up with my own design. I still messed up a bit, and misjudged some of the supplies I had - for example, I planned to bind the top and bottom edges with bias tape and extend it to make the ties, but the tape was too narrow, so the edges are kind of unfinished and then I had to add ribbon ties. I also used 3 layers: t-shirt, washcloth, and NWPP (the nonwoven material cheap reusable grocery bags are made from). The washcloth makes it very thick to sew over, so I may try another version with 2 layers of t-shirt instead. I'll keep playing with it.
