Take a Break: Make a mask

I’ve been totally inspired by some of the mask making that’s going on. My favorite so far are the Mexican wrestlers- Lucha Libres- who are making the most amazing masks based on traditional patterns to help people stay safe during the pandemic.

Below is a simple pattern that you can make without a sewing machine. Just follow the video as it’s all in the folding. Make sure to wash your fabric first. If you don’t have elastic, you can use t-shirt strips cut to 10 inches for adults or use ties. If you are going to be wearing a mask for any length of time, avoid "ear fatigue" by using ties, which you can make from an old t-shirt. These can be cut 18" long by 1 " inch wide. You'll need four of them  Watch this video to help you making ties, and you may prefer the pattern she's using.
