The past few weeks have kept me a little worried, I'm willing to admit.  Proms were cancelled, graduations, celebrations in general were being put on hold.  That's what my business thrives on, you guys. 

Then I get a request for a custom face mask.  Yes.  This is my talent, my skill set, how I can help.  Let's switch gears and serve the need.  So many of us can help serve as well from home.  All you need is a sewing machine, a few basic supplies, and off you go. 

I've recorded and shared THREE different ways to sew your own face mask. 

My first pattern is a regular, double layered face mask with elastic for the ears.

The second pattern was born from the request to be able to insert a 3rd layer of material between the two woven cotton layers. An added layer of protection, if you will, and easily swapped out. 

Finally, where did all the elastic go?  The last video is for sewing a face mask without elastic! 

Please enjoy the video tutorials below.  Let me know how many you create!
