While it is still unclear whether or not a mouth mask offers enough protection against the virus and the reliability of homemade mouth masks is questioned, the Belgian Government decides that wearing a mouth mask is mandatory when you travel by public transport wants to move. Also in schools one will have to wear a mouth mask and when one goes to a place where it can be crowded, it is recommended to wear it. Getting to such a mouth mask is another thing... the production and distribution of it does not go as it should be. Making your own is promoted across all media channels and the downloadable patterns and instructional videos are a hit on social media. I also tried to decipher many patterns because what seems like a cinch at first sight requires some dexterity with needle and thread. So my sewing machine got back from under the dust and if we have to make mouth masks ourselves, then they better have a nice motif...

With colorful piping ribbon and nice fabrics I get to work...
