\"Best<\/a>
Best Face Mask Yet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I feel like I made progress on a face mask I can make quickly that will work with my\/DH’s\/ YM’s glasses. The original pattern for this one came from the video tutorial<\/a> I talked about before. I like this pattern because of the shape and the ease of making it. I tweaked the pattern to make it work better for us.<\/p>\n

Some of the changes I made:<\/p>\n

I added a nose piece. Julie sent me some nose pieces, which work really well. Since they help keep our glasses from fogging up, I have been adding them to masks I make.<\/p>\n

I made the top and bottom gussets (not sure if that piece is a gusset or not) longer to try and ensure that the raw edges were covered. That is something that didn’t work as well as I had hoped. All the pieces were too thick and hard to sew through when I went to make the channels.<\/p>\n

I used stretchy cord from Maker’s Mercantile<\/a> and a cordlock. This allows me to really pull the  mask tight around my face.

I don’t, however, want to have to always wear a ponytail.<\/p>\n

It is still not ideal, but the good points are:<\/p>\n
