Flaw! Bee yourself

Mask up!

My first complete machine sewing project, a Florence face mask from the folks at freesewing.org!

This actually wasn’t the first mask—I had originally made one of these by hand about a couple of years ago when COVID flared up, but then one day it went missing and I thought to myself, “why not get a sewing machine and replace it?” So I did!

As you can see, rather than 4 individual ribbons to secure it to my face, I’ve opted for 2 pieces of elastic that stretch behind my head, though I’ve had to tweak the length of the bottom piece in order for it to not feel too loose around the lower part of my face.

Nonetheless, being my first time with the sewing machine this took about a couple of hours of solid work, and maybe some cursing under my breath.

Still, it came out great and I’m feeling pretty good about doing more!
