Wow! What a year! Who knew as we started a new decade that it would be filled witth chaos, quarantines, and new fashion. I certainly was affected by it all as I immediately went from in person speech therapy to distance learning and working 12 hours per day on the computer to try to see all of my caseload around the parent's schedules. Was insane. In addition I felt compelled to assist my medical friends and neighbors by providing them with masks. I was a nonstop working machine. I donated hundreds of masks to family, neighbors, the retirement home near me and then started selling them off my FB page. I was unable to get them into my store as I sold out as many as I made. In late May/early June, my sewing machine died so it certainly slowed my progress as I was only able to use old back up machines until my new machine arrived. Now I'm back at it and finally able to get some masks into my store.
These face masks have been handmade using fabric choices recommended by the CDC and on this site: https://smartairfilters.com/en/blog/best-materials-make-diy-face-mask-virus/.
My face masks also have a pocket to add an additional filter of your choice and some fit over the standard N95 mask. My masks come with side channels to allow for ties or elastic. Please choose which you'd like with your purchase. I typically add elastic adjusters as well. My masks are washable, just be sure to tie the ties together before laundering in a machine.
While I make masks available to you all, I must remind you to use caution when wearing them. These are NOT medical grade and you are at risk anytime you are in the presence of other people. This is a strange virus with and without symptoms so you never know what other people have been exposed to.
Please be safe and also practice social distancing when wearing a mask. We want you to be safe and healthy while we wait out this horrible virus.
Take care!
