To figure out what size mask you need, use a flexible tape measure or string to measure from the bridge of your nose to under your chin (about 1 inch from under the tip of your chin.) Illustration by me.
The sizes are (approximate measurements):
Finished some more masks, got to use some of my new fabric! Also dropped off 12 masks at the Blue Genie Art Bazaar to list in their online shop as the last batch sold out. Sewing like the wind and packing orders to mail. Stay safe everyone!
I’ve been sewing LOTS of masks these days! Some I’m selling directly to people through facebook and instagram; and some I’m sewing to donate/volunteer sewing for healthcare professionals through the austin facebook group of covidrangers.com. So much sewing, its my like my superpower and I’m glad I can help people. I’ve been staying home with the kiddos since March 13th, when their school closed the Friday the 13th before spring break, and reconvened online with distance learning. Thankful to have materials to work with, and my sewing studio in reach, the sewing is helping lower my anxiety level. Thankful for having my boys close! So far everyone is healthy, haven’t seen the grandparents and other family except for facetime calls for a month and a half. So thankful for good health and enough food to eat!
Everyone stay safe and healthy, this could go on a while.
