Anybody have extra thread? Or elastic? or bias tape?

I've been making masks obsessively. Still trying to find that perfect pattern while using up scraps of cloth and bias tape and elastic that I have been hoarding for years. I'm at the point where every mask is different since I am still experimenting, and most kind of rough. But I have arrived at a general design that I can now make quickly and am now ready to make some to give away.

If you need a cloth mask, or are making masks and would like to swap some, or just have sewing supplies to get rid of, let me know. I am running short of white thread and a few other colors. And nobody has elastic these days. What I would really like is ROUND elastic - hair ties or heavy elastic craft cord for making necklaces. I have some of the elastic cord and find that even pieces that look too thin actually work fine.

Here's a gallery of some of my designs on Google Photos.

We are good for masks thanks to a friend of my wife and my sister in Calgary but I did want to say those are awesome looking masks.

What an impressive collection of masks! Go you!

I really need to look at Dreamwidth more.

Those are really pretty!

I was about to ask for some, but I got an email saying that some I ordered so long ago I'd forgotten about them have just shipped, so unless those are really substandard I won't need to bug you.

I don't really have piles of them to give away, but if you have a pretty scrap of fabric that you like, I can make you a mask out of it. An 8" x 9" piece is big enough (twice that if you want it lined with the same material).

I feel healthy just looking at them.

I do have one for you made from that Victory Tea Towel. Waiting for better biking weather to coincide with my energy level so I can bring it to you. Or you can bike over here?
