Make a Handmade Mask You Can Do It!

Quick & Easy Masks (No Sewing Machine Needed!)

A DIY CHALLENGE FOR YOU

Created in March of 2020

    Sewing by hand can be very time consuming, but it will help you gain fine-motor skills and if your learning something new it's good for your brain synapse. I do many things by hand, and if you want something just right, and fit properly you will have spent your time wisely. Another aspect I want to point out and include is the feeling of accomplishment you will receive from finishing it, and you can brag about how you did it, with a little help from #GoGo Daat channel. Lol!

This video was made before any of the manufacturers were making masks, so it was more relevant then.  

    I was not only promoting, the making of handmade masks, I was volunteering making surgery gowns for doctors too as they were running short. Our community played several roles in the process. We needed someone to design a pattern for the gowns the way the doctors needed, we needed material gatherers from people donating sheets and the like, we needed cutters to cut out the material, (those who didn't have a sewing machine did this), we needed sewers who were available to sew and committed  to create at least ten or more each, we needed organizers to keep everything running smoothly, which was probably the hardest job. I didn't have regular work at the school anymore so, like many, I chipped in. There were many people doing this in our community together, we made at least 500 gowns, and masks sum total.  I felt so proud to help during this time of need as did everyone else. 😀
