#needleinkandthreadmasks

[needleinkandthread]

We officially hit 1300 masks made since April 9th. . Today is construction day, last night I cut 7x7 and 8x8 square for 6 hours, but first I prewashed all the fabric in ALL Free and Clear (I don't want anyone getting hives from detergent) then I iron it. Knce that is done, prep the elastic and cut 13" and 11" elastic for 2.5 hours.. made these "sandwiches of the fabric so I can easily pull a pack and sew together, then they all get flipped (you can see further in the back) then I press them all and "hem" them at the top and bottom, trim all of those threads, then they get their pleats and then I sew those down. Trim all the little threads again. A batch of 100 masks takes almost 3 days of working 9+hours per day ♡ these are a labor of love. Please be kind and patient with your mask makers.. we are worn out from over a month of making them.. #keepingyousafe #maskmaker #inthistogether #needleinkandthread #sewdayton #needleinkandthreadmasks #beavercreeksews (at Dayton, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_3KvWSjoqk/?igshid=s6x6qec9ik2x
