Lost My Mask

I do miss getting out and seeing family but I haven't minded too much. I haven't read as much as I thought I would and I've sewn very little. I thought I would get back to painting but I haven't done that either. I've talked a lot on the phone, keeping in touch, and cleaned closets. I have a bag full to go to the Thrift store when they open. And now I can walk again. So all is well here. i hope all of you are just as lucky. I don't know how I did it but I managed to lose my mask and had to make another one today. I've looked in the car, under the car and everywhere. I know I didn't take my mask off until I got in the car at the park yesterday. But it managed to disappear anyway.

@Courtlynn Okay so you are all right. One of my sisters ordered several from Amazon. I didn't think I needed to because I have lots of fabric. I should do something useful with it. I don't want to make another quilt for a while.

They have patterns online and in our newspaper with several ways to make them. You don't have to do any sewing unless you want to.

I only made one to replace the lost one but I want to look online for the pattern I found to make the lost one. I liked it better.

@Hannihar I'll never find it. I looked everywhere. I'm going to look online and see if I can find the pattern I used for the lost one.

I still have all of mine so far. Kind of surprised I haven't lost any.

I only made us one each so I had to make myself another one. I've planned to sit down and make several but I haven't yet.

I'll never see it again. I've looked everywhere. I think I must have dropped it when I got out of the car and someone picked it up.

One of the topics at last week's Writer's Guild meeting was whether we're taking advantage of the lockdown and writing. Not many were. I'm sure you'll get back to those activities when things return to normal. I hope you find your mask.

I have kept a journal somewhat but not as much as I intended. Anyway I'll enjoy looking back a year from now and read what we were doing..

@amitkokiladitya I keep ours handy so they are close if we need them. I wouldn't dare go into a s tore without my mask.

I just have one, so I would be nervous about losing mine.

You can do as I did, fold your cloth to about four thicknesses and cut it out to measure your face, then sew some ties onto the mask. I sewed more on the one I lost but the only stitches on this one is stitches to hold on the ties.

I didn't sew other than to attach strings to tie the mask around my head. I folded a heavy piece of fabric to fit my face. I folded to make 4 layers. I think that's thick enough. I did a little more sewing on the one I lost. But this one looks all right. The thicker the mask the better.

Some things do seem to do a great disappearing trick.

is it disposable or home-made?
