Sewing Face Masks

I’ve been meaning to share the face mask pattern that I adapted from the Unity Point Olson Mask, but it’s not ready yet because it keeps shape-shifting.

I’ve been handing out free two-layer cotton masks around Bishop, and giving them to friends. Folks who have insisted on paying — their money has been donated to the ACLU and NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
