Face mask

The COVID-19 is affecting a lot of people all over the world. There is a shortage for face mask. Even if you don't have disposable ones (as the stocks are out), sewing one made at  home with fabric makes life easier. It gives you some protection when there is a need for you to step out of your home. It can come in handy when you need a mask for dusting your home at a latter point of time too. After use just wash and its ready for another reuse (They are washable :-)). There are a couple of links in this post which gives a pattern to print and a tutorial to make face masks. The  video tutorials are very detailed and informative. With the help of the video and the template you could easily make washable fabric masks in a short time. Staying inside, sewing this mask for you and your community is a great way to spend your time and when you share these with your community, it is the great service that you could do at this needy time. I tried making them for myself, family and friends too.

Here are the pictures of the masks that I made.
