Pretty sure that’s where I bought the cloth!

I’ve made 80ish masks that I didn’t post here because I was paid for making them. I met a lady recently who owns an Etsy shop and has so much business from masks that she’s hired 9 people to help her. Mass producing, assembly line isn’t my favourite way to work but it’s a bit of extra income when my hubby is laid off.

That’s an awesome way to help supplement your income as well as helping other people who can’t find masks in the stores!

Okay, Mom and I just finished up a BUNCH of WIP masks today. I’ll post a big group shot of them and then individual entries:
Sorry if these are getting a little tedious with so many of the same fabrics!

Oh, also, these are all still waiting on just the elastic, which was supposed to be delivered by today, but things are understandably delayed right now. As soon as they’ve got the elastic, we’ll be shipping them to friends all over the country!

I feel pretty safe where I live, and even in my country, but I have one friend who is far more afraid as she lives in UK. She worried about when she had to go back so much that she was willing to hand stitch her own masks as she had no sewing machine, so I offered to do it for her as I also have a lot of fabric that I want to start using.
She got to pick all the fabric and I found some patterns that would work which would allow her to add filter inside for extra protection. It’s the tying kind so no pain in the ears, and I tested it before I sent them and they are so “tight” around the nose that my glasses didn’t fog, which is a plus as she also wears glasses and that’s the worst part about masks.

Title: Nursing home masks - current batch of 40
For: Local nursing home
I am using up lots of old, bottom of the bin, fabric. Last week’s batch of 29 went to a local hospital/health care group. I had made a batch of darker colors and when we switched to a nursing home where one of my friends is currently living, I wanted brighter colors to mix in. So I raided my “I might use it someday” bin.
There are approx 40 masks here. There may be more by Sunday when the masks are picked up. It’s become a bit of an obsession with me…I think it’s my way of coping with shut-in stress. I am working full time or I would be a very crazy sewing lady.
I need to make blackout curtains for our bedroom, the pinned up fabric “temporary” fix is driving me crazy.

This round of the Lettuce Help Our Communities has ended! Since there is still a great demand for masks, I have opened a Round 2 that will run through the end of May.
Stay tuned later today, for the prize drawing!
@imera & @marionberries, your latest posts were both made after the deadline of April 30th, so I haven’t counted them for this round, but you are more than welcome to move/repost them into Round 2, and they will be counted there. Please be sure to use the Header when posting. Thanks!

Thanks, @MistressJennie for doing this…making masks in quantities is not exactly fun sewing for many of us. For some, making masks for family has been a challenge all by itself. I think you have motivated us all to do what we can, if we can, for whomever we can. I know people I have made masks for have thanked me, even though I wanted very much to do it.
But, kudos to those of you who will never know the appreciation of your community…this little group was so great and I bet collectively, we made quite a few.
Thanks, Jennie…for bringing us together this month…and going into the next…
