2 Weeks Later - MORE Masks still being created!

Up to 150+ and counting of our 300 Masks in 30 Days commitment, as are sooooo many of YOU...Thank YOU!

While I've gotten sewing/quilting down and can create/quilt those fairly quickly, NOT so much with these face masks.  In an effort to ensure the finished product will provide the most available protection, taking a bit of time to do my best.  As such, sewing along rather slowly but deliberately.

My latest:

Red Bandana face masks w/ties

Making the needed supply of 'ties':

Ties and filter sleeves getting created

Dug these tools of the trade out of my 'dressmaking' stash to make these ties w/bias tape maker...work great!

Making Red Bandana ties for masks w/Bias Tape Maker

Got some more Denim masks finished up from the 'donated by Family member' light-weight denim work shirts - used the lower 'tucked in' tails of the shirts that don't generally get much exposure/wear, AFTER they were laundered, of course!

Denim face masks w/ponytail holders for elastic

Finished up these colorful masks - created from various quilt-shop quality/tightly woven cotton prints w/filter sleeve:

Ready for elastic to be sewn

Working on these - just need to add the inner liner/filter sleeve & side elastics, and they'll be ALL finished and ready to be donated for area public service needs:

Face Masks - ready for filter liners and side elastics

For now, time for a little break-ey break ;-)

1st chocolate bar in 6+ weeks...YUM!

For those of you who have been making literally hundreds and HUNDREDS of face masks...Bravo and Kudos!
