masks: Facemasks and the Plagues
- 05/08/20 01:37 PM
As a lifelong seamstress, when the need for facemasks surfaced, I pulled out my stash of cotton and elastic, researched a design that allows for the insertion of a filter, and started sewing. Cotton masks with inserts for filters and some headbands with buttons were then sent to my daughters, one of whom is a nurse, and to friends and family who wanted them. (And yes, I’m still selling houses, too.) I posted on Facebook that I was surprised that I’d made over 200 masks, resulting in more requests, including some for friends of a hearing-impaired woman.
