My face mask making days seem to be slowly coming to a halt, thanks to the ever increasing availability of commercial masks. But, boy, it was such a crazy ride for a couple of months, making masks and masks and more masks, primarily for the local senior centers.
Finding the fabric was easy and fun. I had good access to a variety of printed cottons, some with fish, other with flowers, autumn leaves, geometric shapes, honey bees (yes, for those bee keeping friends), and so on. The only challenge was finding the elastic pieces for the ears. But, there was never a challenge finding people who wanted a free face mask; most often they were quickly drawn to one print or another.
Now, I am going into semi retirement, deciding to specialize in mushroom print face masks using a bolt of fabric that I purchased a number of years ago in Seattle. In the past I've made this dramatic print into shower curtains, blouses, aprons and the like, but making a face mask out of this material was a first.
Thinking that you too might be interested in constructing a couple of themed fabric masks, I am happy to share the following instructions from the Great Falls Clinic. I'd recommend that you check out their online video which is quite well done and helps to clarify the written instructions.
The mushroom print face mask is a popular choice.
