I thought that this week we could provide you with a link to an easy to make facemask for these strange times that we are in. There is no reason why your face masks cannot be made of bright and funky fabrics to cheer each other up. On our website we have hundreds of lovely fabrics to choose from you just need to follow the guidelines below to:
- fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face
- be secured with ties or ear loops
- include multiple layers of fabric
- allow for breathing without restriction
- be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape
- Individuals should be careful not to touch their eyes, nose, and mouth when removing their face covering and wash hands immediately after removing.
Why not use our 100% cotton fabric as this is a tighter weave fabric in the animal prints, spots, and the many floral prints that we have to choose from. Some customers are also choosing the cheaper alternative of polyester cotton fabric in lots of lovely prints but this is your personal choice. They are mostly made out of 3 layers so we have plenty of plain fabrics for the backing including wincyette which has been a popular choice. The non woven interfacing is an ideal choice for the filter inbetween the layers of fabric. Finally we have lots of different elastic in either round or a flat choice depending on which you prefer.
