Hello all.
I have been busy with the sewing machine in my Corner of the CDR and have made a load of face masks for the family. One to wear and one for the wash.
We have a suspicion that when the lockdown is relaxed they’ll be mandatory to help avoid passing on infection, so I found a pattern online, sacrificed a couple of pillow cases and a couple of cloth aprons and got busy. I didn’t quite have enough elastic for the ears, so some have tape ties instead.
I made enough for us and our parents. The parent ones have gone in the post.
the leprechauns had obviously been fiddling with my sewing machine because it got stuck in reverse when I first started using it. Once we managed to get the covers off, we oiled everything that looked like it was supposed to move and thankfully the reverse button popped back out and I was able to use it again.

Good looking masks! Reverse seeing is an art!
