Hubby and I slept in, then went out for breakfast and did a few Uber Eats orders.
Once we were home again, my sewing machine parts were delivered, so I set everything up and spent the rest of the day sewing the masks I cut out before Memorial Day.
My cute little old sewing machine is so leisurely (we won't call it "slow") compared to the industrial machines at work. It just patiently trucks along. I kept stepping on the pedal to make it go faster.
I love that it still works, and that I was able to find parts for it - we bought it before B was born.
For these first masks, the "guinea pigs", I used old fabric of Neenaw's that I wasn't in love with, which ironically, the kids love. Everyone has dibs on at least one style.
I've been experimenting with ties and ribbon ear loops and elastic ear loops. The two masks below have ties made from packaged bias tape, sewn into strings (tedious but so satisfying). The fabrics, ribbons, and elastic ribbon I have are mostly random and mismatched, so putting them together has been an adventure. I'm trying to use up the supplies I have before buying more, though.
My mask model:
^Teddy bears & apples - black ties^
^Orange gingham - white ties^
Also: Tonight Hubby did his first solo stint of Uber Eats. He enjoyed it and made a nice amount. Yay Hubby!
