There has been some production style sewing of late.
These, plus five more, will be going to the hard-working teachers and educational assistants at a local school who wear glasses. I find the biggest issue with wearing a face mask all day is how do you get around your glasses fogging up? I hope they will be well-received and the fit of the Aplat face mask offers the solution.
The best feature which turned out being a big pain in the fingers were the cord and cord stopper feature. That was not fun in a production line situation. I'm happy they're done and ready to deliver. Fingers are crossed that they are well-received.

How thoughtful of you! I just love that Norman Rockwell print - very clever for a mask!
