Why I Sew Cute Washable Face Masks for Women



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.
