May The Mask Be With You

Just when you thought it was safe to put all the mask-making paraphernalia away .....  the daughter asks for more.


It does look like masks will be a must have accessory in our wardrobe for a long time to come.  Ana wanted a variety.  And, truth be told, I could use a variety, myself...and the Babes, should they ever go back to school.



I decided to try a new pattern, and I must say I really like it.



Daisy Multifacetica on YouTube.  Click Here for the YouTube tutorial 
and click Here for her website to download the free patterns. 
Her patterns come in various sizes from child small to adult XL.



I like her choice of fabric, too....








This style seems roomier than the pleat-style masks I've made.  It is easier to breath when doing my power walking in the morning with Miss Kate.


Pleat-style masks



The little adjusters on the ear loops can be purchased on Amazon.  It does take an engineer's degree to figure out exactly how to get the little tabs on the elastic .... just sayin, the directions are not that clear.  Click HERE for the link to Amazon.

If you are still making masks, here are more styles to consider:

Special Occasion
For the Bride


























Even Moda has printed a mask panel.   I'm tempted.


This panel makes a combination of adult and children size masks.
One place to get it is the Fat Quarter Shop.  Click HERE.


Everyone, stay safe out there.


Keep your head down and your mask on.

  1. Isn't it amazing how many mask patterns and tutorials are floating around the Internet? Looks like you've found a good one. And such cute fabrics. I must admit making masks has turned into a chore -- and you're right, we're going to be wearing them for a while. Luckily, finding cute fabrics for the outside and inside adds a bit of fun factor!

  2. It is kind of a chore. But it's a bit like cleaning the oven, you only have to do it every once in a while. It IS sewing and we can still get our sewing-fix. :-)
