Masks

I've been holding off on sewing a mask.

Sewing of masks has been a controversial topic on sewing forums. My conclusion is that having one is better than not having one.

These masks are NOT intended to replace high-filter masks that block 98% of germs via the COVID-19 virus. However, along with strict adherence to social distancing of at least 2 metres, these masks could prove worthy of wearing.

This pattern is from Craft Passion:

The top pattern was from two 6 x 9" pieces of fabric and 25" of binding used for each of the ties (original pattern calls for 40" in total). The tutorial from The Missouri Star Quilt Company is available to watch on YouTube.

For both patterns, I used cotton on the outside and fleece on the inside.

Happy crafting! :)
