HOW TO MAKE FACE MASK WITH FILTER POCKET AND ADJUSTABLE WIRE – SEWING TUTORIALS ON YOUTUBE OLSON MASK
Prewash cotton before you start to sew. Fabric must be tight weaved and color-fast so when washed in hot water will not bleed.
Your time and talent can greatly impact our ability to care for our community and help ensure our safety as we do so. Fabric mask offer the benefit to be able to be washed and re-used. They don’t have to be stylish just functional. Non matching fabric, thread and elastics are fine. It just needs to be a well sewn mask, with no frayed edges or missed seams.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR ASSITANCE DURING THIS TIME “FAMILIES CARING FOR FAMILIES “
SINCERELY,
STAFF AT GOOD SHEPHERD CARE CENTER
