The guild had Virtual Sew  Day on Saturday. There were 9-10 people at any one time, which seemed  like a good number. After I put some rectangles on the design wall (empty after taking FOTY 2018<\/a> to the longarmer), I worked on masks.<\/p>\n

I am still using the DIY Cloth Face Mask video<\/a> pattern and I am getting more familiar and more confident with it. After wearing the mask I made with this pattern and a cord lock<\/a> for several hours on Friday, I decided to make another mask using this pattern with elastic instead of a cord lock.<\/p>\n

This pattern works very well with my glasses. I added a nose piece, thanks to Friend Julie and her husband for keeping me supplied! With the nose piece well adjusted, I get very little, if any fogging. Allergies are torturing me, though, so I sneezed a few times while wearing the mask which reminded me why I need multiple masks.<\/p>\n

Also, the cord lock and cording works well if I am wearing a ponytail. I can hook the top cord over my ponytail and then tighten the cord lock behind my neck. Getting the mask tight helps with preventing fogging. The problem is that I was wearing my hair down and by the time I got home I think large chucks of hair were embedded in the cord lock. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

My new mask, which is the exact same pattern as the red dot mask, has elastic instead of a cord lock. It fits well and the nose piece fits tightly around my nose. The real test will be when I wear it out.<\/p>\n

The elastic is slightly better for this test on the couch, but I can tell any kind of mask wearing is better with my hair up. I think a hairdresser\/stylist who designs a hair cut for mask wearing will be a genius.<\/p>\n

DH has his collection and didn’t want anymore for the moment. I will make him one to wear with his tuxedo, assuming we ever get to dress up again, but I am going to wait until I get the pattern exactly right.<\/p>\n

I made four masks. I experimented with fussy cutting and was pretty successful on the mask main panel. I wasn’t as successful with  the gussets, but I can do better next time.<\/p>\n

One is for the YM, because it makes me feel better to make him masks. The other two are gifts as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
