This week I’ve been down the rabbit hole of making face masks. I thought it would be quite straightforward but there’s definitely things that make some masks fit better than others and after quite a few attempts at different ideas I’m happy with the shape of one I’ve come up with. I’ve added a couple of fabric options to my Etsy shop including pretty hand painted splatters and am making to order as they come in. I have included a filter pocket and each mask will come with one charcoal filter. Also adjustable ear loops to make it a more custom fit and the option of a nose piece for a little more snugness across the nose .
Keep a lookout 👀 I’ll be doing a GIVEAWAY soon. 😄😄
I hope you are having a cosy Friday night with your special peeps. 💕💕💕

My made to order customers are always the first on my list when it comes to how I spend my work days. This means sometimes it takes me a while to get my other creative projects finished. This one has been in the works for quite a few months, you may remember the beginnings of it from my stories pre-COVID times. It’s now finished and hanging pretty in my Etsy shop. A one of a kind linen wall hanging, I’ve painted it with eco friendly fabric paints and have added some stitching onto the painted surface. Hand cut tassels in cream and white. This is a unique piece to hang on your wall and make you feel happy each day that you see it. 😀💕☀️

Anyone out there like to make pretty things? My first digital pattern will be available next week! I’m making available the pattern I use to make my pretty obi belts so you can make your own!
I’ve tried to make the pattern super easy to understand, so that even a beginner sewist will have success making these lovely belts, and I’ll always be on hand to answer any of your questions if you need a little help!
It was a MUCH bigger project than I originally thought it would be but an enjoyable learning experience and I hope to do more in the future! 🖤
