        Had a go at sewing today...got my sewing machine out. I'm usually useless at sewing (id never be able to make mouse ears, let alone a mouse!) but did make 2 facemasks! I am very pleased with them. I even had some wire that i put in one to shape around the nose neatly! :biggrin:

                @Upsydaisy They're certainly not perfect, but I'm still pleased with the result.

                    @Upsydaisy thank you! Kind of for the greeny one... it was a faff as my curtain off cuts weren't square enough to cut out the basic half shape. So i had to faff about at the start by sewing the scraps of material together. :rolleyespink:

                    I decided to put the nose wire in the green one as it was baggy around the top part.

                    Second go was the red one, so i did darts in it instead of needing a wire. That worked quite well.

                          But I would see it as I lift it up to put it on! I suppose I could keep my eyes closed :ideaIPB: but then I would still see it below my eyes and I have enough problems with my eyesight already :doh: :)

                            @shiney do you get fuzzy eyed when you are on an escalator? My eyes cannot cope with it, I have to concentrate on something else as they stripey metal shapes of the moving floor make me so dizzy

                                What's an escalator? Is it one of these newfangled pieces of equipment?

                                I rarely go on one and keep my eyes averted when I do. :blue thumb:
