The New Normal

Lala models masks
I have been making masks. They recommend we wear them but they cannot be had. The ones that are the best protection need to be saved for doctors, nurses, and support staff.

I'm okay with that. I have more sewing machines than I can count. I can make masks! 

I have found two different patterns. The first I made were a basic flat mask. They are easy to do and have a lot of coverage. The second pattern is more fitted. It reminds me of sewing bra cups. Who knew that my bra making skills would translate into mask making for a pandemic?

Jen is working from home, but Granddaughter Lala is a receptionist in a doctor's office. She finds paper masks uncomfortable. I sent them a selection of the first masks I made. You can see how she modeled them for me.
