Greetings, Guild Members! I hope you have been able to enjoy a little time outside on this sunny day (but still keeping up that social distancing 🙂 ). Here is the video for making the face masks. If you are helping with this project, please e-mail me so I can keep you updated on any other details that come up, and also hope to share elastic as it is available.
Important project details....
~ three layers of fabric, 9x7 inches
~ fabric can be cotton or cotton synthetic blend
~ elastic should be 1/4 or 1/8 wide (if you don't have elastic, yet, you can make the fabric part (see video) and add the elastic when you get some
~ about 17 inches of elastic per side (note in the video how this is done, as it really does create a better fit).
~ 2 or 3 pleats are fine, about 1/2 inch deep
(If you have already made some face masks that didn't follow these directions, those would be ones you could share with friends and family [sorry for the initial confusion]. Or if you have followed these directions and they are a bit smaller, they can still be donated to the facilities and used for smaller residents.)
Be blessed! Tina Milenovic (treasurer@heartofohioquilters.com)
The video uploaded into it's own post, FYI.
Greetings, Guild Members (and friends), we are being called to help with the national shortage of face masks. An email has just been sent, and I will also post the text of the email in the comments below. Invite your friends and family to help with this project. May the sewers unite in this worthy endeavor! ❤️
