Mask sewing weekend and not many made.

Mask making weekend. Not sure how people can make face masks in 5-10 minutes as claimed. Yes, maybe the sewing part but not all the stuff up to the sewing and post sewing. First, clean off the table that is the art and plant table and turn it into the sewing table, put everything away organized, get out the sewing machine and clean and oil it, spend and hour looking for the oil and realize you probably don't have any, watch a bunch of YouTube videos on mask making, find a pattern you think you might like, only your very oldest computer will work on spouses very old computer, spend 30 min printing, iron fabric, find pipe cleaners, cut fabric, make one, text friends doing the same thing and compare photos and patterns, switch patterns, do another long printing, make one of the new kind, make modifications, make another, text back and forth again. At the end of the weekend I only made 6 masks (two shown below). I used the UMN pattern (pdf in the article). It was a bit putzy but the fit felt good. There is a pocket for a filter. I used a filter.

The drawing is walnut ink with dip pen on Nideggen Sand paper in my round spine bound book, with colored pencil. Of my trusty ancient non computerized Bernina 1030 sewing machine.
