Michael Although I am not a master tailor, I am a proud owner of a sewing machine, can install the upper and lower threads, and sew simple patterns. Since supermarkets in San Francisco now require customers to wear masks, I reluctantly set about sewing two masks from leftover fabric with a sushi motif, which I had used to upholster our dining chairs.
A really simple guide onYouTube Here is the translation to English:
Following a simple guide on YouTube, I managed to create two not only perfectly fitting but also elegantly shaped masks with elastic bands for strapping on, within less than an hour.
Whether the masking helps at all, I still doubt, because you actually have to wash and dry the masks after each use, and you must not touch your face with your fingers when putting them on or taking them off. No idea if it does any good at all, but rules are rules, as we know, and there's no getting around that, and you have to go shopping at some point.
