Rather proud of my second attempt at a mask. It’s not as pretty but it’s user-friendly and safer. There’s ear-elastics, wire to keep it flush with my face and prevent glasses-fog, and a pocket for a filter. I found this pattern at craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern, where you can find patterns in men’s, women’s, children’s, and baby sizes. I hope once I get my mother-in-law’s sewing machine I’ll finally be able to churn out enough masks to donate! You can find filter fabric at @getfilti. On a more serious note, I found out today that my 95-year-old grandfather has the virus and it doesn’t look good. I had been hoping I’d get to see him again before he passed but now that looks impossible. Please keep as far from other people as you can when you leave the house for essential errands, wear masks with the tightest weave you can find, wash your hands thoroughly, and if you have relatives or people in your circle who are talking conspiracy theories and not taking social distancing/the pandemic seriously, please have a word with them. You never know who you may be protecting. I don’t want to lose any more loved ones to this pandemic, and I’m sure you don’t either. #sewingproject #facemask #donatemasks #diymask #diyppe #ppe #personalprotectiveequipment #covid19 #coronavirus #stayhomestaysafe #stayhome #protectyourself #pandemic #quarantine #quarantinelife #yesihaverootswhatofit #stayathome #quarantinehair https://www.instagram.com/p/B_We6r1ga8Q/?igshid=jevqa52sgg8o
