Nothing fancy here for me today but very practical! Since we are in the midst of a kitchen renovation I figured we should have a mask to protect us from all the dust to come! I went to the hardware store to buy some & they were literally paper thin & while the clerk was showing me how they work she poked a hole in one? The cost for 10 of them $12.99? Rediculous so I came home & made these 2 up & hubby said he will wear it so YEH for me! Teddy to the rescue lol. The brown one is a bit small for teddy but fits just right. I even added pleats for the nose (both sides & under the chin too on the red one hubby said no to it on his & it is a snug fit

This will cover from the top of our nose down under our chins & I have put the pleats (darts) to fit each of us. A tight fit will keep out the dust or @least the worst of it & it is lined so breathable & dust free I hope.

What a great idea! Kudos to you for thinking of this. I'm glad Teddy is also being protected.

Very pretty and practical. Why pay a lot for inferior stuff! Rather make your own. You can just wash it when needed, and there you go again. I'm sure you look cute in these!

I never thought of making them myself but it is an excellent idea.I find the elastic often breaks as you put the on.

I found a free pattern called Germ face mask on - mama can do it.com. Haven't had the time to make it yet but will in a few days. Hope this will help anyone that wants to try it.

Pic 1) Hey who turned out the lights?
Maybe I'll be a bank robber today!
Pic 2) Whew that's better, the lights are back on!
Ms Loralye if you can make these without a pattern you can do anything! I never thought of doing this.
