Making Masks

Weird times are upon us my friends. I along with everyone else deemed non-essential have been holed up in our homes for over a month now. Aside from the isolation from friends, the daughter home-schooling, the son attending college from home, the husband working from home and cooking three meals a day seven days a week, I have designed and made over 300 masks since my first order in late March. I truly appreciate all of the business; I am grateful to have work to do when so many are out of a job because of this virus. I am also super happy to be providing something that people can and will use. (Nothing warms a sewing girl’s heart more than what she creates being of use to those who receive it.)

All of the masks are cotton fabric made from a plethora of scraps that happen to reside in my sewing room. I started with what little elastic I had on hand, graduated to elastic hair bands, elastic head bands, and finally I will begin making tie masks as the great elastic shortage of 2020 takes its toll on the seamstress world.

I offer both standard two-ply masks for $6/ea, and masks with pockets for inserting filters for $8/ea. Each mask is made to order and then offered for either pick up at my front porch, delivery (if you are local to New Braunfels, TX) for an additional $5, or shipment via USPS 2-day Priority in the Small Flat Rate USPS box for $8.30 shipping. If you are interested in ordering, please contact me, and we can discuss color, style and how to get your mask/s to you.
