The patterns I've got of hers are great Lizzie: layered pdfs, clear instructions and great fit - enjoy!

Super work, Purps!

Does anyone know where I can buy clear material for face mask windows, or what to search for? I've looked for "clear soft vinyl"

One pattern I saw said 4 gauge; 4, 6 and 8 could be considered lightweight (apparently - I'm no expert!)

Some advice.. if anyone can help.

First time making curtains.. and I have to sew this eyelet heading tape to the top. The lining fabric will be cut away.

Any suggestions how I keep the stiff plasticy heading tape in position? I can’t pin it.. too stiff.

I guess I need to get an extra needle as well?

It feels like a stiff canvas.
