They're lovely! And just in time for Wednesday.

I've finished one but keep forgetting to take it to the supermarket! I nearly finished another but I'd sewn the outer layer inside out, annoyingly, so I need to unpick and start again. I've got enough fabric cut out for several now.

I'm actually off work this week (should have been on my way to Paris :( )
But yes, HellsBells has perfect timing :)
And perfect needlework :)

Enjoy your time off NSC! I need to make some masks for hubby and me for when they are required. I have everything I need, just need to get around to doing it.

I wore mine out for the first time just now. I felt a bit daft and wasn’t sure if people could hear me speak. And it needs a wire across the nose. Need to finish some more.

I'm really ambivalent on the mask thing: I don't feel I go anywhere at the moment which counts as crowded. That said, with the latest advice I will wear one in a supermarket (but not on the way there) and on public transport (which I rarely take but sometimes I need to take a bus to the allotment if I have too much to carry).

HB what did you use for the wire in the mask?

Pipe cleaners :)

I'm ambivalent too
Currently on public transport its quiet enough to distance yourself and everyone is very well behaved but as more people go back to work it will become more crowded :(

I was the only person on the bus a couple of weeks ago - a double decker - it kept stopping for a minute or two at each stop as there was so little traffic on the roads that it was getting ahead of itself (on the south circular in zone 3 London, usually rammed).
