Face mask-was so proud of my merging designs, rotating slightly, mirror imaging and I hadn't worked on this stuff for a long time. I even managed to figure out how to delete colors I didn't think I needed--used a Cuties mask shape and a couple of designs from a birthday going online now. Well I accidentally deleted a color I needed to had to delete from the opposite side of mask also. Then I hit the backing stuff with hot steam iron that I used to hide the bobbin and yet keep mask light enough and breathable and commenced to melting a couple holes in the back. Not too smart--fall off a horse and get back on when I can.

Thank you. I think you digitize also. Think I have seen some of your designs, 'I think'.

As I am the only one to sew in this entire family of mine and my husbands I felt the need to supply most with masks. Mailed out to some I don't see often. I called it quits but then the beauty of the designs came in the way of Birthday on line freebies. Beautiful set. I just had to have a fancier mask. I am trying one now with Dracula mouth since I have to go give blood and have Covid testing before surgery. Ran into a snag on that but should have at least turned my machine on today to get the red lips done. I forget what I did on the original mask so I will finish the embroidery and then do the satin stitching upstairs on my sewing machine to finish it up. Thought this kind of mask fitting--Halloween and Dracula since giving blood.

Thanks Lidia---I have viewed your designs in the photo section of graceful. Always beautiful and elegant.

Isn't that the truth. I just don't get a lot of time or am so tired I don't feel like sitting and concentrating on software and what to do with it. Just now trying to get my many many projects under somewhat control and finished. Clear them out so to speak.

I enjoy seeing your creations also. Thank you.

Hi Carolyn--I am not able to get on here as often. I've made stuff and forget either to get pictures or have the time to myself for posting. Thank you for saying. I'll get around to another, just not at the moment. I've have made over 300 masks though for family members and a few for ourselves and swore not any more but.....well pretty designs.

Thank you Vicki. I have lots of trials and errors.

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

Thank you. Labor of love I can tell you that.

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

Believe me, I know what you're saying. So many different kinds of supplies and I still get surprises.

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

Thank you. I didn't know if I could mention the place where I got the design BD freebies.

Thank you.

Goodness, I've been slowly working on Christmas present, sewing and embroidery with a peppering of a new mask for me. When I get these 2 great grand dresses complete I will post in sewing category. Lots of little centers to embroider on Organza for my pinwheel trims-hey post it here too if these little centers turn out. As it is I get so tired so fast.

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

No probably not. I purchased something I thought would work perfect for my light weight cutaway. It will work, just not with an iron! lol

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

Thanks Kim. As you said, I hadn't posted anything in a long while---I think my brain kind of went stale.

by peafarm 10 Oct 2020

They are 2 designs that are from a BD celebration getting ready to close. I don't think I am allowed to say where. But thank you so much.

Ha ha, I didn't realize I took a color away that was needed until I stitched out one design and noticed the crosshatch was gone as the person digitized it. I had mirror imaged and rotated the original design and in the final process of deleting what I thought as unnecessary [because of the way I was doing the mask I eliminated the color for the second crosshatch design. So had to pay attention and not stitch it out on the opposite side. Boy if my attention was in the software first I'd have had this licked. But the final straw was in melting my holes in the backing. It will still work as a wearable mask. Too pooped to do it again right now. Reading all this insurance stuff at this time of year makes me tired. But thank you so much for your kind words.

It looks perfectly beautiful to me. Can relate Oh can I relate, understand about being tired so well. Really, really Beautiful, why do we find faulty with our work, if you did not mention it nobody would have noticed.

I feel confessing helps me, lol and maybe someone will take pity and give me some lessons......I live in the boonies though and don't get out much! I have to learn online and at the moment can't concentrate on reading material--Pictures, lots of pictures!!
