Re: OOC #26
And I should be set for masks at work for a while. I know enough about patterning that I made an initial pattern for a fitted mask, decided it was too small, made a second, larger patter that was decent, but when I was having to wear it for hours at a time and talk a lot, it just wasn't working for me. So I created a third, slightly larger pattern that I used for most of last week and really like (single elastic, worn below the ears, pulls it tight enough over the bridge of my nose and across my cheeks to minimize a lot of the fogging with my glasses, and it fits over my chin so it does a great job of contain ing my breath...lined with china silk so it's comfortable against my skin...and all the materials were scraps, either from home or work, so they haven't cost me anything.)
I've got eight of my Mk3 masks, a few of the Mk2s that I like well enough to keep using, and I'm doing laundry at work every three days, so I should never be in danger of running out of masks.
And one of my coworkers likes my masks enough that she asked me to make some for her...she's a lot smaller than me, so my Mk2 mask fits her like the Mk3 fits me. So I cranked out eight masks in the last 24 hours, including time to watch two movies this morning.
And I really enjoyed The Replacements. My other favorite football movie is Necessary Roughness...
