That is partly true--this is mostly a solitary sport, but when we're all working on something this important, we're constantly trying to improve, speed up and provide the most useful and practical thing we can.
I've done about a dozen iterations on how I make my masks, based on feedback from friends making masks, scientific articles on which fabrics are most effective, and from friends in healthcare who tell me how they are using the masks and what is most comfortable for them.
I thought I'd share some photos of my workspace for everyone. It hasn't been this organized in years--because I moved everything not related to mask making out so I could focus and stay organized.
My overlock. I'm using this to finish edges of the lining. That's a stack of strips from a flat sheet to the right, ready to be serged. |
Set up a staging system for masks that are complete and ones that need nose pieces added. |
King size sheets waiting to be cut into bias strips and lining pieces (thanks, Gina!!) |
The very last of my quilting cotton(thanks, Mom!) cut and ready for assembly. I have two fabric orders pending--one should arrive by EOD today. |
Thank you all for doing what you do!!!
