Sew a Fabric Face Mask
Hi there! Calling all sewers! We can help our healthcare workers by sewing these simple fabric face masks. These masks are used OVER the existing HEPA masks to make them last longer. Please check the description on the Youtube video for ideas where to send your masks. Also, check the comments for ideas and updates. Thanks!
PS- you can use ALL QUILTING COTTON! Flannel is recommended in the video but quilting cotton is fine too.

Hey Virginia, I have been making facemasks for my daughter and done of her coworkers, NICU nurse. I have been making ones w pockets so she can put her hospital issued mask inside. Makes it much more comfortable to wear and keeps it clean. I commented about you on our FB group this morning. My granddaughter and I have been watching your videos and have made several things including the headbands that you did a couple of years ago. I hope you can see the pic of the added buttons for the ear elastic on the masks, that is if you can find elastic. I have been making mine with ties instead. Thanks so much for all you do.
Hi:
I have watched several tutorials on making face masks: yours is the BEST!!! I went on to sew six face masks for my family after being stuck.
Thank you for the work you do and for your generous spirit.
Also love your Sewing toSell book, and today I purchased the Pretty Birds book – can’t wait!
