These four face masks mark a hundred that have been sewn since the spring. Lately, I've been pushing myself to get these done and move onto something more creative.
Four more to finish before that will happen. Unless...
Unless, I put aside the face masks and sneak in another project? But I digress...
The first two are to go in the post and have the ties with a cord stopper. The last of the cord stoppers in my stash and I don't think that I'll be picking up any more as I want to slow down on the mask making and use what I have in the stash. The other two have ear elastic. I would like to hear how they fit before I finish the other four left to do.
The fabrics were pretreated before hitting the cutting table. These are three layers, the fashion fabric is a quilting cotton and the interior is a cotton muslin.

I'm going to try this mask pattern. Do you think it's less likely to fog glasses? Thanks for the details!
ReplyDeleteMartha, from the three patterns I've tried, this one is the best I've found for preventing glass fogging even when I wear a face shield as well. I also like the Dhurata Davies pattern but it's second to this Aplat pattern for preventing eye-glass fogging.
