Apr. 25th, 2020 03:41 pmI fixed my stove! ( cleaned out burners ftw )
A while ago I made a mask from this shaped pattern. It was fussy to make, and my glasses immediately fog up when I wear it. My sewing machine, ironing board, and fabric have all been sitting out while I thought it over. I've been using bandanas with a piece of aluminum foil folded in at the nose as suggested by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gaudior when I go out.
I've been contemplating this pleated pattern, but I suspect my sewing machine (which I received for my birthday in 1987) would have trouble with the multiple layers of fabric.
I saw this simplified pattern vialadyjax and since I'm tired of having all the sewing paraphernalia out, I finally gave it a try today. I sewed in a couple of plastic-coated twist ties at the nose to give it a little structure and help with glasses fogging up. It seems to work ok, although I think I would make the mask a little wider if I try again. I already cut out another set of pattern pieces, so I'll probably make a second one, and then put the sewing equipment away for a while.
