Found a different pattern

[Turtlepie]

The one on top is a size for women the bottom one is sized for men. I think I like this pattern better

[agapepilgrim]

WOW!!! Those are professional!

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

Thank you. It took me 3 hours to make the first one and an hour and a half to make the second one

[greaterexp]

Those look great! I realized today that had made over 150 masks recently. I’m tired!

Keep sewing!

[Turtlepie in reply to greaterexp]

Thank you. I am going to make some more so that I have some to be available to wear while the others are being washed

[greaterexp in reply to Turtlepie]

That’s such a good idea. I don’t think many people realized that they should be washed after each use.

[Turtlepie in reply to greaterexp]

I made the 2 yesterday and I made 2 of the rectangle ones now I am going to make at least 10 more today that's how many I can fit on a yard of fabric after it is washed. My boyfriend wants me to make him a couple but in black. I will have to wait till I have to go out to do that or till he gets back on the 22nd so he can find the material. I always try to be practical. Thank you

My RT daughter told me earlier the ones shaped like that are more secure and protective than the straight ones. Medical field calls them duck bill masks

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

I like how they sewed up. And they feel better on my face

[agapepilgrim]

Yes Jennifer said they do. She said only kind she can use cause her nose is a bit longer than most😋

[Turtlepie in reply to agapepilgrim]

I will be enjoying wearing them. ☺️

[jimeka]

The bottom one looks more comfortable. Do you use wire in the so they fit round your nose? Good job, Blessings Jimeka 🤗

[Turtlepie in reply to jimeka]

The bottom one is the pattern for men and it does fit better. I am using twist ties for the nose. Thank you. I plan on making about 23 more that's as many hair ties I have left

[rjoneslaw]

nice they look better than the ones the normally have b4 the virus

[Turtlepie in reply to rjoneslaw]

Thank you I like these better than the rectangle ones with the folds

[Peruzzot]

Where did you find the pattern? I don't have any twist ties, but I'll pick up some pipe cleaners next time I go to the grocery store. At least that's where my dad used to get them when he was going through his pipe smoking phase. That didn't last long though. My sister and I would clean all the tobacco out of the pipes then use them to blow soap bubbles...then leave them like that. 😂🤣😂🤣😂 My dad did not find that nearly as funny as my sister and I did.😁

I chose variant 2 I hope you find the pattern let me know if you do there are 13 pages of instructions plus 2 pages for the pattern. Let me know how it goes. I never thought of doing that with my dad's pipes. That is funny take care

They look so professional, Turtlepie Thank you for sharing the patterns and don't forget to Keep Smiling, even behind the mask!

[Turtlepie in reply to carolek572]

You're welcome. Thank you. I know it's not easy to see a smile behind the mask but it's there.

[carolek572 CommunityAmbassador in reply to Turtlepie]

Perhaps sew a smile on the front of the mask?

[Turtlepie in reply to carolek572]

That sounds like a good idea

[twooldcrows]

looks easier....great looking ...

[Turtlepie in reply to twooldcrows]

It is easier and more comfortable. Thank you

[mrsmike9]

I don't know what triggered this thought but couldn't we take old bras and alter them into 2 masks???? Just a thought...

[Turtlepie in reply to mrsmike9]

I guess it could work
