Masks on Etsy

QueenDanceALot — Thu, 02 Apr 2020 19:47:26 GMT

So, I was thinking about buying some of these handmade masks and was just perusing Etsy. So many choices.

My thoughts while perusing were that some were pretty, some were cute, some were clever, and

some look like jockstraps.

I am trying to find some locally.

Masks or jockstraps?

I am thinking my local food coop where I shop all the time will probably be carrying some locally made ones, but I haven't seen any yet.

I know the likelihood of me finding them locally even though I live in a major city is slim to none. I just don't want to be bothered doing the legwork. I did order some from Etsy today.

Guess I'd better get to my sewing machine and get busy. I'll make a fortune. I have some cute Southwest cotton fabric in a small print. I think I also have a seashell or marine motif. I even have the elastic.

I saw a woman wearing a scarf around her face (you know like a robber). I guess anything maybe is better than nothing now!

I ordered two from Etsy a couple of days ago. I won't completely trust them, but they're better than nothing.

How funny. I just posted this on the other mask thread. Yes, I also just placed an order on Etsy -- for a triple-layered cotton mask.

If I start wearing one, I'll do the no sew version using a bandana and hair stretchies.

A friend of mine in Massachusetts who is making them for healthcare workers there mailed 2 to me the other day. They should be here tomorrow.

I went on Etsy and ordered a few for my sister, brother in law and niece. I picked a vendor I've ordered from before (different product) Have no idea what the quality will be like, but I figure anything is better than the nothing I'm wearing now.

Stupid question, from you.

In addition to 6 I ordered from Etsy, I ordered a dozen bananas to make some myself (there are 5 in my family who might need to occasionally wear these).

@patbz, OMG. I'd love to see those banana masks. Carmen Miranda, anyone?

Can anyone share what you are paying for the masks on etsy? A good source? Made in America? I have never used etsy before.

I've made about a dozen so far. Some for donation and then my kids asked for some today. I've tried 3 different styles and I like the style with the ties on either side best. They fit better also. The elastic that goes around the ears doesn't work for me. I've found that my ears are spaced a little differently.

Which vendors are you etsy shoppers using? I was just telling DD people could make a fortune on these on etsy.

I just pulled out some bandanas I've had forever. I don't have a sewing machine so I just tied it like a bandit with it covering my nose and mouth. They are washable and lots of colors.

@Wsmom - I ordered from Beaudindesigns. I used them because I've shopped for several items from them before.

They are located in a north Atlanta suburb. No clue what the quality of the masks are because I had them shipped to my sister and they are being delivered today. But I have always been pleased with everything else I've bought from the in the past.
