I thought I was done making face masks.
I really did.
But then the oldest grandson called. He said that his co-workers wanted face masks.
And he said he loves me.
So I made twelve more (not all are pictured).
Face Masks 2 (This is where you will find the pattern that I am using.)
I have made more bow tie blocks. This brings the count to 628.

Since I wasn’t happy with the pattern that I used previously, I tried another tutorial for making face masks.
I am much happier!
I like Julie’s (The Crafty Quilter) tutorial. It is well written, has options, and I can leave it on the screen (once loaded) without internet access. I am rural, so internet access isn’t always available. Therefore, I limit video time, such as You Tube.
I choose to use a different fabric for the reverse side. This allows the wearer to know which side he/she has been wearing towards the face.
I also choose to stitch the ties down instead of threading them through the casing. I think it is easier to use them.
Stay safe! Stay healthy!

So I heard that my son, and fam, do not have face masks. They live across the state from me, and the coronavirus has been particularly active near them.
So I have stopped my current projects in order to fill a need for them.
I altered the pattern that I am using, since it did not call for a separate fabric for the inside. I think it is necessary to tell the two sides apart, therefore I used a t-shirt fabric that I had in my stash. I also made my ties as opposed to using elastic.
I didn’t really like the pattern that I used, so I won’t share it. There are plenty of tutorials available via the internet, so I know that you can find one just right for you if you want to make cloth masks.
I will be looking for a different pattern to make my next set of face masks.
I hope that your families are all well and stay that way in this difficult time!
Stay safe! Stay healthy!
