Within the last2 weeks gen stats kurz already made 200 masks for doctors and nurses across the bay area this is a scary you know i can do now shes teaching others using simple itemthat are already inside your home. All youll need is a needle and thread. A tshirt for the ties and something for for only 100 cotton like this pillow case this will be used for the portion of the mask that covers your face. To get started jen walks us through step by step so you take 2 pieces fabric and the 2 of them and theyre cut 8 inches by 9 inches. And the 9 inches is going to go horizontally and thats going to be a part that covers your face a long way next to fold a tshirt in half and cut wanted strips along the bottom and got some cut here. You just go to make a chord so its a little bit longer. And so e strips youre going to be 4 of and between 1518 inches each then place in penn one tied to each corner of your mascara got one in each corner, you know wanting to hang out the bottom. Youre going to want to leave when you start selling a to gap. So you can pull the fabric through and so then you will just play on your machine or to sign it by hand just so that quarter of an inch from the with the streets to and this is where we have the and this is what it should look like we take your hands out real or maybe were going to pull your mouse through is. Why we left the opening and then you should have the right side facing ow next to make 3 even cleats in your mask finally soy streets ditch around the border of the mask 2 times you can see that here.
