PROTOTYPE

                               I made my first mask last night as a prototype
                               before I make some
                                               for my family members...

I used a youtube tutorial @ "Sew Craftie with Connie" as I
like and understand her easy method;
 since I didn't have any elastic or flannel on hand,
 I just used fabric and double fold tape for the long ties...

And............
My pleats are not quite even! ;000
but then, who will even know when it's opened...
(the pleat inspector is in quarantine right now) ;}}}

I will be making 9 adult ones and two child sized...Now that should keep me busy
for quite a while, don't you think? 

And I will be making my own double fold tapes
as the one I used here is leftover from Mom's sewing box...💖💖

 I don't really know how effective these are,
but they do help stop the spread of germs when you go shopping...

We are staying put here; only venturing out for needed groceries 
during early morning senior hours...

Our beach town is about to be increased to its usual Summer numbers
with people leaving New York City to come and shelter in their Summer homes...
So vigilance is the keyword...

Hugs from afar to all of you --stay safe now my friends...
