FASHION TABLE: DO IT YOURSELF FACE MASK

-

DO IT YOURSELF FACEMASK - Pleated pattern
10 quick steps on how to make a reusable facemask.

So some people have been talking about how some people are selling already used masks, so in the spirit of staying safe, I felt we should equip ourselves on how to make these masks, preferably reusable ones at home.

This is not just for us "sewing folks", even people in the "I have never sewn anything" clan can jump on this.

You can make your own face mask even without a sewing machine.

Materials needed
1. Fabric; cotton scraps will do just fine
But if you have access to a fluid resistant fabric then that would be great (it could be from rain coats or umbrellas).

2. Short piece of elastic band
Then thread, needle, measuring tape and the other essentials.

Procedure
1.Cut your fabric to be atleast 8 inches long and then whatever width you're comfortable with that covers the your face, ear to ear, stopping like 1 and half inch before each ear.
2.Turn the wrong side of the fabric
3. Hem both top and bottom edges with just half an inch.
4. Press the hemmed edges with a pressing iron to keep it in place, before stitching (Fold the fabric in twice before stitching across both hems).
5. Turn to the right side of your fabric and make 3 pleats (each pleat should be like half an inch).
6. After pleating the sides should be approximately 3.5 inches (9cm).
7. Press with a hot pressing Iron.
8. Sew very close to the sides to hold the pleats.
9. On the wrong side, turn the edge by like half an inch and stitch it for smooth finishing.
10. Attach elastic bands on each side for the ears to hold
Or stitch long strips of the fabric at the sides for tying behind the head.

Try it on for fitting and breatheability.

Stay safe, protect yourselves, practice social distancing and remember fam THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

Ask any questions or relay any message in the comment section or send me a dm. I'm waiting for your feedback guys.

Welcome back to "FASHION TABLE"
Always remember fam the goal is to thrive and not just survive.
Love, light and peace always from the side fam

The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process.

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA(SOUL MATE)

The Sojourner's Diary: ALMA GEMELA The Spanish word for soul mate stands for "alma gemela". You know, I've always wondered. It has always had me bothered. That question. Simple as it may sound, it is a question that has troubled my mind relentlessly. How many soul mates do we get in a lifetime?  Have you ever met someone and out of the blue, y'all connect and a bond is forged? You spend moments together and moments turn into hours, hours into days, days into weeks and weeks into months and months into years, years into more years, you get the picture. Everything is fine is the beginning and then the misunderstandings begin and then you start to see how different y'all really are and then your three hours of calls become three minutes of awkwardness with so many words in your minds but none of them said. You then start to wonder, "was this really my soulmate or did I get it all wrong?" Are we even meant to be together? Eventually, you start to let eac
