DIY Personal Protection Equipment

[Yellowbug]

During these trying times, folks are getting creative in using resources at hand to make personal protection equipment (i.e. face shields, face masks). Check out some of the tutorials they’ve put up online through this topic. Feel free to add any other helpful tutorials you’ve encountered.

You can modify to add a pocket to insert added filtration from a tissue or paper towel.

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! ❤️
