Last week one of our two hospitals in town asked for donations of hand sewn face masks. These masks will be used by hospital visitors and will be washed over and over. I went to work and made forty-two masks.
I used the pattern requested by the hospital and one which online says will only take fifteen minutes to sew. In reality, each mask took an average of an hour to complete. (Was it the lack of elastic requiring me to sew seventy two inches of ties for each mask, or my mother on my shoulder requiring a perfect seam? "It's not worth doing if it's not a job well done.")
Not all forty two masks made it to the clinic. I kept three for us, five were sent to California, two went to my brother, and two to a neighbor. For now I'm taking a break but will probably make more in a week or so.
When I delivered the masks I stopped by my brother's house and had my first face to face visit with humans other than Hubby in forty days. Seems noteworthy....
