My husband and I fall into the Self Isolating group so we are not going into shops or travelling on public transport. Whilst we are out having our daily walk everyone we meet is complying with the Social distancing rule of being 2 metres apart. Makes walking quite entertaining as people dodge and dive into driveways, suddenly cross the road to the opposite pavement, walk in the middle of the road and so on. We passed one elderly couple in the park the other day and the lady said she didn’t think anyone would be able to walk in straight lines anymore!
However, our family does do some food shopping and, in anticipation of things changing in the next few months I decided to make some masks.
This was a pattern recommended by a neighbour, a retired GP, who thought it was a good design. The mask has a pocket for a piece of kitchen paper filter. She is wearing hers and says it works well because the kitchen paper stops the mask getting damp.
One each for my husband and I, and two each for our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.
I also made 5 two layer pleated ones based on Mary’s blog: Making scrap quilts from stash. So we have one each of this design.
Well done Linda. The masks are a great idea, just in case. I have a few put aside in case we need them.
ReplyDeleteNice job on your masks!
