Some face masks I made yesterday 😊

Just thought it might be a good idea to post a facemask tutorial for anyone who might want an easy pattern. This has worked very well for me and I'm feeling really productive at last!
Feel free to request any clarification. I'll put more details in the comment below any that I think need it.
You will need for each mask:
2 pieces of good quality cotton 9inch x 7inch
4 stretched tshirt ties 18inch long roughly
I nose wire / coffee bag closure cut in half
Cotton, scissors, pins, sewing machine
Good luck!

Thanks to Victoria Simonsen for the gift of a wing back chair in need of a little TLC ❤
Before and after photos. First upholstery I've ever done, but worth every fretful moment!

Kids Sewing classes update:

It's been a wonderful start to 2018 with the making of pin cushions, a pair of wild pyjama pants, a skater skirt with an elasticated waistband, 2 skirts made from old shirts, an apron made from an old shirt for grandpa and a lined zip purse each!
Well done to the 2 lovely 10 year olds Siobhan and Hannah who have been my star students 💕💕. Thanks for all your hard work, and to your parents for their support.
I have enjoyed every minute 😍❤️

Looking forward to a break over the holidays but hope to be back in September with some more.....
