A Whole Raft of Masks

My family put in their orders for masks, and I dug through my batik stash to find the ones that would work the best. Two pieces of fabric, one inside, one outside, with a big contrast so you can easily tell which is which.
 Here they are before adding the ties to the masks.

 Ack, so that was a whole lot of fiddly sewing. The instructions are clear, but there are a lot of steps. But these turn out really well, very sturdy. But hey, I'm done and these are all in the wash right now and ready to send out tomorrow. (in a lingerie bag so the ties don't get snarled up)

Hope your mask-making is going well!
