A huge fabric day today

A huge fabric add today

I've now done two days in my office after working from home for months. What I've learned is that for me I struggle with wearing my masks and glasses. But, after two days of nine hours at my desk in a mask, I can tell you that my 3d are by far the most comfortable for long wear, for me. I was able to speak in them and needed no adjustment. I had ample room between my mouth and the mask so I didn't have to change them up because they were wet or moist. ... So, I have a winner for me and what I need. It's really too bad it took me so long to find a pattern I liked working with for this style of mask!

I'm loving all of the custom requests I've been getting. These are off to my friend Erin in Calgary soon.

My boys get to wake up to their requested French Fry pants This is my favourite pants patterns, side pocket pants. They fit forever. Lizzie is in size 4, but because of the fabric and fit of these, she can still wear her size 2 ones if we wanted. All of the wear of a grow with me, without the folding of cuffs I find.

Hoping to be really busy sewing clothes again soon, I've been bringing in lots of fun new fabrics! But with my sewing room still packed up while we finish my sewing room... Space is getting ugly so I'd like to have a Halloween sale. Masks 3D and fitted, toddler and child size $8 Masks 3D and fitted adult $10... Masks fitted with metal $12 Scrub caps $15 at cost!! While supplies last I'm adding some skulls, brains and zombies to the sale. Pictures in the comments

I'll be adding some famous pups and princess fabrics in the next few days

Let me know if you want or need another kind of holiday print, before they sell out!

Sometimes you craft beautiful things for your children and you just have to hope that one day they won't refuse to wear it.. I have three more of this panel available if anyone out there loves it as much as I do. Shown here is a 3-6 grow with me tunic.

I still recommend my fitted mask. I find overall the sizing is good and it wears and washes well, but I want to also offer a 3d mask. These take a lot more fabric. Sizing for children seems great. For adults, it's not good. I tried the "XXL" size on my husband. Nope. Gave it a try for me and it fits. So I will have to work on a true large men's size similar to my XL. Pricing for these will be as follows:... 2-4, 4-6, 7-12 years $12 Teenager/Small women $15 Women $15 Men's and large men's $16 You will get more room between your mouth and your mask, but these require more TLC and you may find you have to iron, even if you hang to dry, but these are just to offer more options.

And another small garment update
