soc_puppetGot twenty-eight pieces of cloth folded for masks today! Fifteen left of the cloth I already have cut out. I averaged about one mask every ten minutes.
The first twenty I folded at work; my last shift for the Covid checking station for the predicted future—not sure whether to cross my fingers on that or not. Anyway, since I wasn't prepared to actually sew the masks at work, but didn't want the hassle of traveling with pins sticking out of the cloth, I came up with a solution: After getting the cloth into shape, I put a piece of painter's tape on it over the ends and removed the pins. I will probably have to re-pin all of those masks, but that's still bound to be less work than re-folding them, or folding them in the first place.
Of course, right after work I treated myself to a trip to a local secondhand store that sells a lot of fat quarters, and picked up another thirteen to make masks with 😅 So that's more cloth cutting for me! ...Maybe after I get this round done.
