COVID-19 Fabric Mask Pattern
We are making masks from our fabric stash & sharing our pattern with anyone who wants it. We used a serger but every crafty quilter could use this as a start.
There is no guarentee that it will keep away any disease, however if wearing a mask helps to keep folks safe, that’s worth it.
FREE, of course. Please share with family, friends & anyone who wants to make a mask.
Stay safe & take care!
We learned that teaching folks how to wear a mask was important, so we put together a little flier that we now include with each mask we make.
There are four per page, and you can print, cut & include with your masks.
Free to download & use!
