I recently made a pattern from a mask that fits me very well and I'm making some multi layered masks. So far I've made 2 in white, the outer layer has a white embroidered design and the inner is plain. I will probably wear them at my son's wedding. Both fabrics are fairly tightly woven, an open weave isn't suitable for a mask. I wash new fabric first before cutting out the mask shape because it might shrink and it would make a difference in such a small item.
I ran out of elastic for the ear loops but I'll make more masks once I've been shopping.

Frustratingly right now, the UK has opened its doors to US and EU citizens who are fully vaccinated with no quarantine requirement, yet myself as a British citizen living in Canada, fully vaccinated here, cannot return home yet without quarantine...

The wait continues lol

Most people I see wearing masks on buses and in public have material/washable masks. I think it's people like me who only wear them at work or occasionally have Disposable masks as they ate very expensive to wear after a while.


Then why are these blue disposable masks becoming a problem in the environment if almost no one is wearing them?

And by the way most of the masks I see discarded all over the place are these blue plastic ones. I guess thats because people aren't going to throw their material/washable masks on the ground because they cost serious money.


The amount i see on the floor just being litter pisses me off no end, i mean, are these not being worn by adults??? there is no excuse for not putting used ones in a bin :@

^I believe the reports are sensationalized and most if not all Aussies have been cleared to continue in the Olympics.

I think an Aussie competitor came into close contact with a pole vaulter who tested positive for Covid..
