I make Olson face masks - 2 layers of cotton fabric with filter pocket. 3 sizes: 2-5 yrs, 6-10 yrs & adult.
They’re generous in size.
These are not medical grade or PPE, but are perfect for use on public transport, shops & schools as currently required.
£8 each. DM to order 😊

How gorgeous are these fabrics?! I dropped a few of these face masks off at Turn the Tide, Hastings this afternoon. If you’d like one I suggest you get there quick as I don’t think they’ll be there for long!

On really hot days Spooky likes to lay in front of my desk fan. On these days I like to have my fan pointing at me too. Of course this means I have to work around her as she moves for NO ONE! 😆

From today in England face coverings are mandatory in enclosed public spaces.

If you don't want to wear a mask for yourself, wear it for your family, your friends & your neighbours. Just like this gorgeous family are in this amazing photo - thanks so much for letting me share!

“Loving my new mask by Lucy van Zyl of Designs by Lucy V. It has three layers of close weave cotton fabric with a pocket for a filter. Lucy has so many different fabrics - check out her page on Fb. Stay safe everyone.”

FYI: Sophie wears an adult size mask in floral skeletons

All the fabrics he could have chosen & my boy chooses plain orange for his mask. 🤷🏻‍♀️

To fit correctly, it needs to cover the nose & mouth sufficiently so that moisture droplets can’t escape easily. Just like Jontys’ does 😷👍🏻

Jonty is 10 & wears size 6-10 year face mask.

Are you a dog or a cat person? We’ve got 2 very special cats here but I must admit that I love both of these fabrics!
Which is your favourite? 🤷🏽‍♂️

I love this fabric! Sadly it has now sold out ☹️ BUT... I do have another space/planets themed fabric if that’s what floats your boat 🌎🪐🌕

Do you ever make up words for things? I’ve made a new word which I think perfectly describes Spooky when I’m sewing.
She sits herself down between me & my sewing machine flatly refusing to budge until she’s had a fuss. Once she’s had enough, she settles down, to “Spookervise”.
