Masking Market Friday - A Tale of Sewing Masks
Here is a prototype.The real one has three pleats in the front. I was just trying this for size. The pleats make it big enough to fit a man's face as well as a small woman. Unfortunately, I had to go to work so you will have to wait til later for part two. Yes, nobody at my house likes me working nights either, but, that is the way it is for now. Things can only get better, right? Now, don't forget to make your mask! If you can't do it or have trouble with it, let me know. I will either help you or try to send one to you. Here you go! The easiest mask ever!
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Fantastic idea! While the bee prints are the bees knees, my fave always comes down to the Pooh, who after all has a history with the bees!
Hehe! Thanks! I am just finishing up some so I will take a picture when they are done so people can see what they look like.
Who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh???? Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! You sound much better! :)

You are a very wise and kind woman, Denise.
And I've never learned to sew,
and I still don't have a sewing machine, but I try not to go anywhere, we are strict with this, they even fine me.
Only you can take out the trash or walk with your dog within 100 meters, you are not allowed to go anywhere else except for the store once every 4-5 days...
And this is my new post for Friday.
Thank you so much, Svetlana! @singa I need to help our country cover the shortage of masks by at least making some for ancillary workers. While the amount is nothing compared to the need, every little bit helps.
I have a sewing machine and supplies. So, it makes perfect sense to do this. I want to thank you so much for your awesome support every week! It is so much appreciated!
#MarketFriday loves you!

I am about to watch the videos as this is something Lulu and I talked about last night, wishing we had material and of course I guess a sewing machine is essential, as we would then try making some masks, at least for ourselves initially, Maybe after watching this video, I will get motivated to order a sewing machine and some fabric and giving it a go, although my past experience with a sewing matching decades ago was a failure lOl
here is my post for this week
https://steempeak.com/hive-196308/@tattoodjay/market-friday-nautical
The first one is easiest but you will have trouble finding elastic unless you already have some. If you can wait a day or so, I can send you and Lulu a mask. Watch the video anyway and pass it on to the kids, but let me at least do that for you. Especially as you still go out for walks. As a precaution, surgical masks stop larger droplets, splashes, saliva and respiratory secretions from spreading.
In other words, wearing a surgical mask can’t necessarily prevent a given individual from contracting coronavirus, but it could help stop people from spreading it. That is important because people who are infected can spread the virus days before symptoms show up, and some never get symptoms.
So shoot me an answer, as you know I would be happy to do it for you. Unless you want to go through the expense of buying a sewing machine you won''t use.
Thanks for dropping a post and supporting #MarketFriday! You're awesome!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Ye sI understand that about the masks, for the rank and file or average person just heading out shopping the mask is good to reduce the risk of us spreading it to others if we ever get it, but if more do that then the spread can be contained
And yes I and Lulu would;d so appreciate of you could make masks for us when you get the time, not sure how you could find time with how busy you are
I will use my imagination for what fabric I should use for you! :)
Ohh yes feel free to do that, I think you know me well and honestly;y any fabric at all would be great for me and Lulu and we would appreciate it so much :)

Here is take 2. I tried to avoid the bit of panic buying crowd near home.
Thank you, Ace! @ace108 Oh, they finally are closing! I was wondering when they would get around to you! :) Thank you for supporting the challenge!

You're welcome. It's all work from home if you can. If not, work only if you are essential services but other than supermarkets, food related business still opens but for take out food only and no dining in.
Here too. Banks, pharmacy and medical.Hardware stores too. Lanscape companies are working too.
One thing I find funny is hairdressers supposed to provide essential services and open but only for haircut and today people are crowding there to do all sorts of things including haircut. Then there are people going to manicure places. My wife said her colleague working from home still have to put on fake eye lashes in case of video conference.
