A local woman posted that she had fabric to donate for masks. She dropped some off here, & I eagerly dug through it. All are samples of designer fabric, seemingly for upholstery or drapes, or the like. I've made 4 masks, 1 which was less successful than the others. Three turned out fine, & I used ribbon from my scrapbooking days as ties. The masks are stiff since I used the brightly patterned upholstery fabric, but they work ok. I had no wire or pipe cleaners for the nose area, so they are simply fabric. I lined them with an old sheet I had in some things not in storage. I had to scrounge thread to sew these, but did find some. My old Singer doesn't wind bobbins any more, so that will be an issue when this one runs out. But at least I got to sew for a while!
