Wondering

I am wondering if this is how my grandmothers and great grandmother’s felt as they were knitting socks as part of the war effort of their generations.  No, I am not knitting socks but rather sewing face masks for a local Tucson non-profit.

I am using the material that I had purchased to make quilts some day and some sheets destined for another project.  The material went through the 4 1/2 hour sanitary wash and a very hot dryer.   I will make the first one and then if all goes well I will mass produce them a dozen at a time.  If the first pattern does not work there will be others to try.

I am not sure if this will help with the current COVID-19 crisis.  I was asked and will do my part and hope it helps.  Using the old biblical adage “ If you save one man, you have saved the world”.  Now I am off to pull the dried fabric from the dryer and iron it before I cut the material.

Additionally these are my prototypes.  I will make one change tomorrow.  I will have a different fabric on the back.  For these I just used a sharpie pen to mark the back.
