I decided to make a new mask a few days ago
It's the mask pattern from Craft Passion, that I added a bit of height to for Husband's masks...then forgot about that extra bit when I made this mask for me. That means this mask has...very full coverage on my face.
As with the other masks I've made from this pattern, the lining is a high thread count sheet, and there's a layer of heavy duty embroidery stabilizer inside.
I used elastic for the behind-the-head straps, while my previous adult masks have used ties. I'm still getting used to putting this mask on.
The vintage cartomancy print fabric was a gift, which very unfortunately has offensive fortune teller stereotypes scattered between the cards. I had kept the fabric with the sole intention of possibly using the cards for appliqués, so I was happy to discover that I could fussy cut the mask pieces to avoid the people in the print.
And I was even happier when I realized I could get the Friendly Warning cards onto the mask. (and even more amused when I looked up what the Queen of Diamonds means in cartomancy, and..."friendly" is not it.)
