I have posted a few times about making masks and also about how one size mask does not fill everyone. After making the rectangle masks with the pleats, I’ve moved onto make more of a cup-shaped mask, in various sizes, and I’m now selling these.

Right now, I’m selling them for $15 including US shipping and $10 for each additional mask purchased at the same time, also including shipping. Feel free to PM via social media or email me directly at tammypowley @ yahoo dot com if you’d like to purchase via Paypal. I can give you information on what I have in stock or what I can make for you.

Yes, I’m still giving away masks to a select few as well, but after giving away a fair number and getting asked by friends to also purchase them, I started running out of materials since my sewing stash is not really huge. I spent a lot of time and money tracking down supplies. So, I decided to sell at a cost that covers my materials and pays me a few dollar for my time. Each mask takes me at least 30 minutes to make, and I do not use cheap materials. So far, I have had very happy customers who really like their masks, so I’m going to keep on sewing them for now.

That said, I continually have people ask me, just as they did concerning the pleated masks, for a free pattern. I’m not one to precisely follow one type of pattern. I tend to take a pattern and tweak and alter to fit my needs, and that’s what I did with the pleated patterns and also with the cup-style ones I’m making now. So, my best advice if you’re looking for “the” pattern for you is to search online, watch videos, read instructions, basically do your research. Try a few out and decide which you like best. And, I can point you to one of the best sources I found: The Fabric Patch. This site has a ton of information, so again, research is required, but from all the dozens of videos and blog posts I’ve read, I think they have the best information if you are looking for one central source.
