finished the batch, 51 masks now complete

get wrecked COVID
This batch is for giving away to local essential workers (medical, local grocery & gas station staff, etc).

The Baberaham Lincolns are next
When they're finished next week the Baberahams are going on eBay- it's come to my attention that this fabric is out of print, therefore they are officially precious cargo.

Hoping that auctioning them off can help cover costs for free masks for local medical & essential workers.
BUT not to worry, there are a plethora of bitchin fabrics out there. Have already ordered some sailor tattoo prints, sexy cowboys, & porgs

Here's a preview* of the next batch

*cat is here to remind us to always wash new cloth masks before wearing
This is all to say: please support local seamstresses & pay them for their work, o ye who have disposable income in this hour 😂
But! If you don't know any, I'm taking commissions for cloth masks at $15/mask. This helps pay for free masks for essential & medical folks in our area.

Reply here if you're interested- will DM you to get shipping address & work out payment by PayPal or Venmo.
*if there's way more requests than I can manage it's ok- will forward them to the local masks4doctors network. A little paid commissions will go along way to support their pro bono work.
A huge thank-you to patreon subscribers is in order here. Your support underwrote the materials & sewing machine repair to get this first batch off the ground.

I'm taking much of the rest of today to make a how-to video for the pattern I'm using. This mask is a little more work BUT it's durable & comfortable for long-term wear. These are masks for long shifts. ♄

Will have it up in the next day or two.
