Purple Paisley

When you come across some purple paisley fabrics that you are quite taken with, the best thing to do is make more masks!


I set up a sort of assembly line over the weekend and made eight of them. They're still fussy to make, but I don't hate the process like I did when I first started sewing masks. 


John and Justin just looked at me quizzically when I asked them what they thought, which I think meant that they were not at all interested in wearing purple paisley masks themselves. So I kept four and sent four to Ryan, proudly wearing one when I went to the post office.



When I told Ryan that he could look for a package from me, he said that he had also ordered a real mask with a filter. I'm glad that he is wearing a mask, and even if he never wears these purple paisley ones, they still serve a purpose and say "I love you dearly and I don't want you to get coronavirus."

  4. I think these are gorgeous, and not girly at all. What did you use to make the ties? It matches perfectly.

  5. Those are beautiful! I love the fabric. Good for you. I have been making lots of masks - giving away and donating most. My goal is 300 total masks which I should reach next week. Have a great day!
