I started making face masks because there was not enough
face masks for each medical staff at the nursing home where my sister-n-law
works. I spent 2 days watching YouTube videos on how to make cloth face masks
that were washable. There was an abundance of free patterns and tutorials from
all over the world on the Internet.
Making my first mask felt blissful because the sound of the
sewing machine drowned out the negative thoughts in my head about the corona
virus. The sewing machine foot marching against its metal ground alleviated my
anxiety about the conspiracy theories about alien sightings who were believed
to have inflicted humans with COVID 19, and the 1 percent spraying the virus
over the neighborhoods of people of color; and soothed my heart because I felt
like I was doing something positive to help someone… especially the anxious voice in my head.
Fretting over the reversible pattern that no one could see on
the other side of the fabric face mask and sewing buttons, rhinestones, miniature
bows, and tiny roses on certain fashion
face masks styles for men and women calmed my nerves.
What I enjoy the most about making unique, pretty fashion
face masks for adult men and women is
spraying each mask with 91% proof alcohol, rose water, and Florida water to
cleanse any negative energy or germs, and to imbue it with the vibration of
love, peace, harmony, abundance and joy
for the person it is intended for.
I never rush while making a mask and I will remake it as
many times as necessary so that it feels right. I think it is so important to
saturate each mask with positive energy because it is covering a person’s mouth
that is a part of their throat chakra. Our throat chakra is also called out 5th
chakra is responsible for internal and external communication with our
authentic selves; expression of our unique purpose and creativity; as well as,
our ability to be discerning and honest with ourselves and others.
Each handmade face mask I am called to make is an honor and I treat it as
such.
