face masks with pockets

My life revolves around the sewing machine.  The place I was going to volunteer with is making wonderful shields and a few medical masks but they could not source enough medical materials for all of us to use.  That was about the time that the suggestion was made for everyone to wear a mask.  They said "sew for family and friends."  Which I have been doing. And I have been sewing for my shop.

The Tall Short Person has a good friend that needs a mask for work that can hold a filter.  I looked at the patterns for those and my brain was not working this morning.  I finally worked it out and decided to modify my already modified pattern.  The two I needed to make went together much easier then I expected.  I expected them to be much harder.  

I am going to need to resize them a bit but maybe not.

I know I am not in this space much.  I walk.  I feed people.  I clean.  I teach.  I sew.  When my hands are already done, I crochet a few stitches.  Then I start it again the next day.  I am trying to be kind to my body and get more yoga in but not so far.  It is all about sewing masks.  That is okay because that it is what is needed right now.  

I do have a funny story about bread but that will have to wait for another day.  I hope to have a few moments to breathe soon.  And sometime soon I want to go camping and I want to go the the Georgia O'Keefe museum/gallery.  That was on my list for this spring.
