Whew, after a washing machine semi-breakdown, we finally got these masks washed and sent out through #RockEdRelief to the three priests assigned to PGH. We sent them out in sets of 4. We’d recommend changing masks at least once a day to prevent bacteria build up due to sweat and exposure. And please use the pocket for extra filters, Fathers. 😷 Be safe. If you have access to more medical-grade protection equipment, please use it. But in the event that is not accessible, we pray this will do.

For those making masks at home, consider making for security personnel, garbage collectors, and other non-medical personnel who may not have access to personal protection equipment.

Stay safe, folks!

Snaps from our last Basic Sewing Machine Operation class before the community quarantine hit. 🧵 Feels like so long ago. We hope you’re still sewing!

For sewists out there who’d like to join our Face Mask Sew Along over Zoom, just sign up over at bit.ly/facemasksewalong 😊 If you sent us your email, and haven’t received the link to the signup, just head over to the link above. We’ll be scheduling more as we go along.

Keep safe, everyone!

This pattern for a double cloth face mask from @craftpassion is a winner. It fits well, and since the straps can be removed, it’s very adjustable.

We used the modification to be able to include extra filters. For this one, we used woven cotton for the outside, and flannel for the inside, and t-shirt fabric for the straps.

Anyone up for a Sew-Along over Zoom on how to make this? Send us a DM with your email! We’ll try to record one, too!

Slow down.

Limiting movement is allowing us time to look around, and do things we’d always been putting off—mending the things that need repairing, rekindling old hobbies and interests.

And though we’ve been advocates of face-to-face learning these past 8 years, the pandemic happening around us allows us to explore more accessible ways of learning for the time being. The physical studio is closed indefinitely for now, so we’re taking learning to the virtual classroom.

We’ve returned to our partnership with @skillshare, and though we don’t have classes of our own up at the moment, we’d like to share with you the timely opportunity to jump right back into learning and making with 2 free months of premium membership.

Just head over to https://skl.sh/craftmnl OR use the coupon code igamb2203 upon checkout on their site. This applies to both new, and returning members. Hooray for access to premium classes again! ✨

Please do know that we may receive commissions if any of you good folks do sign up. 😊

We’re pretty keen on making, and keeping busy during the community quarantine. It helps dispel some anxiety, as well as keeps us productive.

What classes are you keen on taking? We’ll be sharing what classes we’ll be taking, as well as what projects we make in the coming days.

Keep safe, everyone.

In case you guys missed our IG Stories announcement the other day, we’re closed for now, and we’re postponing this weekend’s workshops. We’re playing things by ear, to see what we should do in order to continue work responsibly.

As small businesses go, we’re not really prepared for something like this, and are expecting a rough road should the situation worsen.

We are however, exploring creative ways of sharing the love for making, which we think is even more necessary now than ever, as we hunker down.

Keep safe, keep your hands nimble (and clean). 😷

Our woodworking game is strong this month! Fresh from last weekend’s Intermediate Woodworking: Box Making class with @lexbreyes, we’re starting off March with a whole Saturday of woodworking with @lamanaph, and DIY Carpentry on Sunday! Check out the Calendar on our website for this weekend’s offerings, and sign up there, or send us a DM, so we can help you out. 😊

Sharing snaps from last weekend’s Box Making fun! Thank you for joining us, guys!

A couple of weekends ago, we hosted this lovely group of ladies at our Scented Candle Making workshop.

They learned to assemble wicks, and got to blend their own scents, while learning more about using beeswax and coconut oil in their candles. Thank you for learning with us, ladies! ✨

The next run of this session taught by @yellowbuglove happens in March! Check out our website to learn more, and to snag your seat. 😊

Keep on printing! ✨

Bring those pattern projects to life with this awesome printmaking process! Screen printing is a versatile method, which can be applied to various surfaces! Get the lowdown on this craft directly from the brilliant folks of @hocusmanila this weekend at the studio!

Just head over to our website, or send us a DM to know more about the session, as well as to register! 😊

All workshops should be this fun!!! ✨

Thank you, @artistmamtasingh for this fabulous run of your @doodleartworkshop, and thank you to everyone who joined!

Mamta’s traveled back to India for other runs of her workshop, but we hope she finds herself back in our corner of the world soon! ❤️ Safe travels!

*UPDATE 040420*
Craft Passion now has different versions of the pattern uploaded. If you download the version with the seam allowance already, no need to add the 1/4 seam allowance around the pattern.

===

Whether using a machine, or by hand, you can try your hand at sewing a face mask! We used the pattern by the awesome @craftpassion —you can get the pattern at bit.ly/craftpassionfacemask in different sizes (I'm considered a tall Asian woman, and I prefer the men’s size mask)!

We’re still gonna schedule a Zoom Sew-Along, but for those of you who can manage with instruction from a video, we tried to make this one as easy to follow as we could.

Happy making, and be safe! Tag #MakeAtHomeTogether and @craftpassion so we can see what you make! ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less
