Fabric Face Coverings

Let's be honest, if we didn't need to wear them, we wouldn't... but face coverings have become part of our daily lives.  It's important to me that people feel as comfortable as possible, so I offer several sizes and styles to choose from.  My face coverings are made from two layers of 100% cotton fabric (unless otherwise noted) with a layer of interfacing in between to act as an additional layer of protection.  I put a wire in the top to help form a closer fit along the bridge of your nose.  I offer two styles of ear loops: traditional and adjustable.  Both styles use 1/4'(approx) soft elastic.  If you choose the traditional style, it's helpful to let me know if it's for a man or woman, a tween-younger teen, a preschooler or a school age child, etc. just so that I can get the right length ear loops.  Nobody wants their ears getting tugged all day long;)  I make several sizes to accommodate toddlers over 2 years old, all the way up to a standard adult size.  **Please note: it is not safe to use a face covering on children under 2 years old, as it poses a risk of suffocation.  Because of that risk, I do not make face coverings for infants and babies, birth - 24 months old.
   
   
Top is a standard adult size, Middle is child size, bottom is preschool size
Adjustable Style Ear Loops
Basic Care Instructions: Machine wash in cold or warm.  DO NOT use bleach.  Hang to dry.
Helpful tips for caring for your fabric face covering: Use a lingerie bag and toss the bag containing your face coverings into the wash each week.  This is a more gentle way to launder them.  By hanging them to dry, you don't need to worry about ironing the pleats back in; just smooth them out and hang them up.  
For a quick clean, carry a small spray bottle of alcohol/distilled water mixture and spritz your mask each time you take it off.  Be sure the alcohol is a minimum of 70%.  
You can also add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oils to the liner of your face covering and enjoy the aromatherapy benefits throughout your day.

I ask that you allow me a week to get your face coverings made.

I am happy to make "bulk" orders for businesses, organizations, and events.  

One final note;)  In this era of "social distancing" we've all looked for ways to stay connected with our families and friends.  My fabric face coverings fit perfectly in a standard letter size envelope and make for a fun surprise when mailed to someone special.  It's a great way to send a smile and let them know that you are thinking about them:)
