0.000 HBDDIY Cloth Mask
I have been working on my vegetable plants and herbs outside and the pollen count is high. There is yellow pollen on my porch and on my car that I parked outside of the garage.  When I went to the doctor’s office and I had a cough and had been on a plane, they gave me a surgical mask to use to go get tested for Covid-19.  The masks are disposable and you are supposed to throw them away after you use them. I put mine on because my friend was bringing me some groceries and I wanted to talk to her outside. We stayed 6 feet apart, but I still had the mask over my nose and mouth.  When she went back to her car to get more groceries, I lowered the mask and happened to sneeze. My friend told me that I was sneezing because of the pollen and not because of the virus. She does not believe that I have covert-19 and neither do I, but I am still following my doctors orders since I was not tested.  I decided to make myself a mask to use while working in my garden to limit my exposure to the pollen. I watched a couple of videos on YouTube and found that it was very simple to make. I disassembled the elastic from my surgical mask and the metal strip that keeps the mask from slipping down your nose. I just used fabric that I had available so that I could wash it and reuse it. I chose fabric that I could breathe through because it was hard to breathe with the surgical mask on for a long period of time. I cut out a piece of paper that was 8 in. X 8 in to use as a pattern. Then I made the folds using the disposable surgical mask as a guide. I chose to sew around the mask with a needle and thread as opposed to using my sewing machine. The only reason that I sewed by hand is because my leather needle was still in my sewing machine and I just didn’t feel like changing out the needles. The mask turned out very well and it fits me like a glove. Enjoy your day.
