Mask Making

... Like so many people, I've been making masks to wear when I leave the house. California is now requiring them, which seems like a prudent decision. I often have to wear different kinds of protective masks at work, so I have strong opinions on how a mask fits my face. I wanted a mask that had both nose and chin shaping, and that had straps that did not go all the way around the back of the head. (I have a lot of hair, which doesn't work well with this style of strap.) This is the style I settled on. It has a dart for the nose, and two darts under the chin. I think it's both face-shaped and not overly bulky. It also uses a minimal amount of fabric, which lets me use of the scraps that I've been incapable of throwing out over the years. It's nice to finally make something out of this material. This is the pattern I used. The video is Thai, but it's very easy to follow, as all the dimensions are notated in Arabic numbers. Ther
