Cynthia's Favorite Mask
Cynthia spent many hours refining a mask that would stay up, was easy to get on and off (the secret is Velcro!), and would reduce the fogging of glasses. This class will use Cynthia's Favorite Mask pattern. To take the class, you must know how to use your sewing machine and must have sewn at least one project. If you have sewn only simple masks up to now, this one would be a good next step. (And if you're interested in sewing garments, there are a few garment techniques in this pattern.) The Zoom class will be October 5 and 12, from 6-8 p.m. Cost: $35 plus supplies. Supplies: Cynthia's Favorite Mask pattern, available as a download here, a quarter yard of batik fabric, a quarter yard of a print fabric, and a quarter yard of fusible interfacing. Two inches of Velcro, and a nose wire. All of these are available at Stitch Your Art Out. Make a shopping appointment here!
