Jenny Doan is my all time quilting hero, I call her the Kansas City Star, after her famous star quilt pattern for her Missouri Quilt Company. Jenny is a delight to watch and her quilting skills and expertise are unsurpassed. Even if you are a seasoned seamstress, there is always something that can be learned from Jenny. In this video, Jenny is teaching us how to make a rally neat mask with elastic ear pieces and as usual, Jenny makes this mask project look completely effortless. All the exact measurements can be found in this wonderful Youtube video tutorial called, How To Make An Easy Face Mask That’s Washable And Reusable With Spare Fabric, we cannot interfere with the pro because Jenny is going to line you out every inch of the way. This great mask can be washed and reused by cleaning with soap and water. However, the masks that you can make at home are not proven to protect against COVID 19 and I have only made them in a pinch to wear with another disposable mask. For in-depth information regarding how to protect yourself against COVID 19, please view this link from the CDC Website describing all safe practices during the COVID 19 outbreak.
