I have been making several and kind of want to try a different pattern once I use up the bias tape that has been given to me.dqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186878644626859511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-30769568525107284252020-04-22T15:25:11.465-04:002020-04-22T15:25:11.465-04:00Me again.

I thought they were so much easier than the previous masks I had made to cover N95 masks for our local Hospice. However, I decided to wash them all after I had made them and put them in the machine with a few other things (no lingerie bag). Almost all of the pipe cleaners came out and the others came partially out. So I am going to tell the recipients to either wash by hand or remove the pipe cleaners if putting in the machine. I also had not put the ties in yet. I found a wonderful soft cotton cording in my stash and it works perfectly.<br />Thanks for passing on this fabulous mask pattern. I have passed it on to several friends. I also enjoyed your take on being quarantined. So true!Norma Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979046682608968891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-46927734661764835962020-04-19T18:19:14.046-04:002020-04-19T18:19:14.046-04:00I, too, have been making these masks with the Olso...I, too, have been making these masks with the Olson pattern. Instead of the bias tape casing for the pipe cleaner, I deteremined where I should place a buttonhole which I did while the pattern was flat. After putting the mask together, I sewed a casing around those buttonholes and up over the nose. My thought was that the pipe cleaner may need to be replaced and the buttonholes will make that easier. I've done the bias tape, too, so that works well. I do add the holes to add a filter fabric to the mask. I have a daughter who is a nurse and I make filters for her to add to the mask.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612629420194084787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-71197493807169400952020-04-19T03:04:14.223-04:002020-04-19T03:04:14.223-04:00Your masks take the whole homemade thing to a whol...Your masks take the whole homemade thing to a whole new level.... I am not surprised they took so long, but they have a lot of upsides to the quick makes. I love your son's mask fabric especially.

Thanks for the tip on the nose clip casing, will be adding that on the next one. LOL, I guess it's like getting new clothes and you just have to wear them out for all to see. chrisknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927945292086841275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-19183739869345534932020-04-18T10:36:54.306-04:002020-04-18T10:36:54.306-04:00I love this mask!!

Even tho I have made quite a few for my local Hospice that were time consuming and even tho I said I was only going to make simple pleated ones from now on, I am going to make one of these for myself. Just one! Thanks for the inspiration. <br />You can see the masks that I made on my last week's blog post.Norma Schlagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979046682608968891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-48809960935120313392020-04-18T08:28:17.896-04:002020-04-18T08:28:17.896-04:00I used the same pattern for masks I made for the s...I used the same pattern for masks I made for the senior care center my daughter-in-law works at. They were well received. They do take some time to sew. The newest style I tried is by Pretty Handy Girl, https://bit.lyBestFitMask. <br />T-shirt knit ties work well and are so much faster than making bias ties. Thanks for the tip using knit fabric. I will try that next.JLattrell@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07867994347415076568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-12902844745696187602020-04-17T20:43:53.286-04:002020-04-17T20:43:53.286-04:00Yes, you do have some snazzy masks.

First ones were the Olson style which my doctor liked so much so that he asked me to make some for his family. There is a great youtube video by Lorrie Nunemaker on how to put them together assembly-line style. The second style I'm making is the pleated one which I learned when I helped a neighbor with her charity sewing. Since the elastic shortage, I'm using knit fabric for ties. My favorite youtube video for that is by MadeEveryDay.

I did find that two layers of batik were a bit difficult to breathe through after a time (only reason I left home was to mail said masks, and do one in-store shop otherwise I shop online and pick up the order, no contact with a human, and I know these do absolutely nothing to stop the wearer getting the virus as it is even smaller than the 3UG that N95 masks are... I like the various fabrics you used! I agree that these are not quick makes!

I re...Hi Rebecca, those are really great facemasks. I really like the idea of using t-shirt fabric for the lining part and shoe laces or ribbon for the ties. I really, really hope that I won't have to make more masks but I will remember these tips if I do have to make more. I think that the fabric for your hubby's mask looks great on him. Personally it looks more like a man's swimsuit than a woman's :-) Feel free to link up to Free Motion Mavericks - it's not just about FMQ! take care.Andree G.
