Fabric Mask, Reversible, Washable, & Reusable

Updates on our masks and our new ordering system! In an effort to reduce processing fees, we have implemented a new ordering system and will no longer be processing payments via Paypal. All orders will process as “cash on delivery”. We ask that you create a cart and check out in the same way you would have before, after which we will reach out to make payment arrangements. Please make sure you have provided a valid phone number and email address so we may contact you. We hope this will prove to be a more cost effect and easier way of conducting business for all of you, as we understand the confusion many of you faced with Paypal.

We have also made a few changes to our masks in an effort to create a more universal fit. Our adult size masks made with elastic will now be fully adjustable! We have figured out a method to allow our customers to loosen or tighten the elastic to get the best fit. This will be installed on masks only in sizes large and medium with elastic, no need to put in a request:) Our masks in children’s sizes, small and extra small, with elastic will continue to be made with the 1/8″ elastic, providing comfort and great fits for those little ears. Now, onto the basics….

Our masks are made with prewashed fabric, cotton in most cases, with Pellon 950F fusible non-woven interfacing on each of the two layers of fabric. We use ribbon and sometimes cord, giving each mask the perfect fit when tied in the back of the head, ensuring a snug fit for each individual. Elastic is now available! Be sure to select the appropriate option.   Each mask is made with your choice of patterned fabric on the front side, as well as a coordinating solid for the backside. We sew a small piece of metal into the bridge of the nose, which can be adjusted to fit and helps prevent gaps. Each mask is  washable and reversible, (though you do have to launder between flips), so you can wear it two ways. Washing before initial wear, and frequently between use, is highly recommended and tying the ribbon will help reduce its wear and tangling. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, masks are in high demand for both civilians and medical professionals. We set out on a mission to help supply as many people as possible with our homemade fabric masks. We purchased our supplies and began sewing our first run of masks, which were given to family and friends as we gathered feedback on improvements that may be needed. After a few small adjustments, we have found a style that we love, and offer several sizes to enable a comfortable fit for everyone. We are making these masks ourselves, and have sponsorships available to those in need, because we understand the financial difficulties facing so many of us in these uncertain times. It’s important to us, that we stand by and support one another as we work toward a healthier future. If you are able to make a donation, it will help us purchase supplies needed to continue this important work, and help sponsor families who cannot otherwise afford masks, keeping us all safer as we fight this virus united.
