...the call went out from our local hospital that they are in need of masks for their nurses...and they sent this pattern...so several people from Church collaborated (online...not in person)...to get some masks made...
...it's really easy...the pattern is a 7.9 inch square...
...I just ironed in the pleats and seams...
...using some quilting cotton that was already in my stash...I didn't go out...
...and then because the directions specify all cotton for sterilization...I grabbed some mercerized crochet cotton...also from stash...
...and just chain stitched some ties...and threaded them through the open ends of the pleats...
...easie peasie...and here's a goofy photo of me wearing one of the masks...(the only kind of photo of me apparently...wink-wink)...
...also...I've finished the princess sole of the navy sock and started the decreases...
...and in other news chez Affectioknit...our sweet granddaughter is now a 1/2 year old...Our Airman's birthday was during the summer...so we celebrated 1/2 birthdays at his school so he could have cupcakes and a party too...
...what's in your workbasket?...I plan to make another dozen masks today...
~Have a lovely day!
Happy 1/2 birthday to the sweetie-pie!! Love the goofy photo of you - and I love that shirt! Take care and enjoy your sequestering.

Hey K,
Delete...I hope you have a nice sail home...will you have to self quarantine on the boat for 14 days?...
...that shirt is pretty old now...I remember someone complimenting me on it at a grocery store of something...and I told them that my MIL had given it to me...and Scout was with me and replied...yep...that looks like something Grandma Judy would pick out...not sure if it was a positive or a negative comment...hahaha...
Love,
T
what a sweet baby! how nice you are sewing the masks, I hope they come in handy for those who need them. I'm working on a sweater and three shawls. I could easily cast on another project too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about the masks. Can they sterilize and reuse?? MOM
ReplyDeleteyour granddaughter is so very adorable!!!
