Today I felt like Frankenstein working in his lab. (Except I was working with fabric and creating new face masks and not a monster.)
As my daughter is back to work full time she’s finding wearing a mask eight hours a day bothersome for her ears. While I planned on making some ear savers for her, I decided on a new design instead. Why? Well, Ed needed a back up mask, too. Since he’s the one-handed man, I needed to do something similar to what I made him last time. But the ear parts on the last mask were bothering him. And then I had one mask I had made myself with old elastic that wasn’t fitting right. Then I had an inquiry about a mask for one-handed folks so I figured I might as well roll all of those things into one.
Sooo...
Skip the ear savers I made.
Make a pleated mask like this one I made.
But add a nose wire like this one I made.
With fabric measurements like I used on this one.
Not with the ear loops I made here.
Do one with the Harry Potter fabric my daughter requested and one with the fabric my hubby requested and several more fabrics for someone else.

With lots of elastic.
And a camera rolling for one of them so I can possibly use it for a Tutorial Tuesday.

While working around the schedule of four little bottle baby kitties who need their foster mama.
Just call me the mad scientist.
