Making Masks from my Spoonflower cloth
Turns out many of my spoonflower fishy designs are perfect for making masks!
To test this I sewed up a couple last night from a sample set of test swatches (i.e. my artist samples with white boarders, your orders may not).
The test swatch size is good for one mask, though a yard can be used to make many.
I tagged the ones that are best for the purpose, though any of my designs with smaller items (i.e. 2" per item or less) work well.
For my mask, I used two 10" pieces of cord, half a twist tie from a coffee bag (the thick ones), and a section of test swatch of this pattern:

I made my wife's from this pattern, again 2 10" cord sections, and the twist tie:

1) Fold over pattern, invert, then sew edges.
2) Invert to make pattern stick out, put twist tie in middle top and stitch in
3) stick in cords to make a loop (test on your face), then sew in and sew in edge. Repeat for each edge. Make sure it fits snug!
There are patterns all over the web but I sort of winged it and it worked out I think:
Here is a list of a few other good ones:

but I have a few hundred in my shop that will work.
Stay safe!
