Project Face Mask


Masculine face masks ready to mail to Ohio and Massachusetts
for the men in the family.


Some had 4 pleats, especially the ones after I got my new sewing machine.
It's totally mechanical and can sew right over all the bumps and lumps.



Others had only 2 pleats (My old machine just couldn't do it.).


These cloud face masks had yellow backing with orange polka dots.
Fun to wear!

A project for the whole community, with lots of sewing help


Elastic was the hardest thing to find, worse than toilet paper.
We found some online from Colchester Mills.https://colchestermillfabricsandquilting.com/


I had a terrible time with my old (new 4 years ago) machine.
It replaced my really old (50+ years) Singer which worked--until it didn't.
In the midst of this project, I ordered a Janome 3500.
It's completely mechanical. No digital elements!
I love it. It's a workhorse and acts just like my very old one--
which I loved.
