Face masks

My wife's been making face masks for friends and family and co-workers. But now she's out of personal contacts to make masks for, so I encouraged her to set up an Etsy shop. She's got a ton of cute designs, if anyone is looking for face masks still, or if you just want something cuter than what you have.

Cute, 3 Layer, Washable Cloth Face Mask Handmade in USA - Etsy

These cute and stylish handmade masks are perfect for wearing out and about. * 100% cotton * 1/4 width white elastic ear straps * They are made of three layers of cloth, as recommended by the CDC. The middle layer is a thicker layer of cotton fabric over the nose and mouth for added protection. *

Ordered 3 for the wife, who has to go back to work stating this Tuesday and only has normal blue ones.

I went upstairs and told my wife I ordered her some masks. She laughed and said she did the same thing a couple minutes before I came up. From Etsy. Not the same store, but we were on the same wavelength.

She's got ya :D The Etsy app makes this loud, obnoxious "cha-ching!" every time an order comes through.

What would be super helpful is that if you guys like your masks that you leave her a good review. She's a new store, so she's struggling to get noticed among the sea of masks on Etsy right now. It's like Etsy has become "the mask store" :eek:

I would, but
A) my dad is making them too, and the sowing is great exercise for his Parkinson's so I can't deny it to him and
B) the shipping would make it slightly ridiculous

But cool masks!

We're only shipping to the US anyway ;) Not out to compete with anyone, so two thumbs up for your dad!

You have to wait until the mask is ordered to do that, tho... so she'll have to wait for mine.

Hey, @Tinwhistler , any chance she's going to make kid sizes?

She's not super craftsy. Took her nearly 100 masks to figure out how to make them really well. So I think she's sticking with a one-size model for now. That said, some people have used them for their kids. They just tied off the elastic for a better fit.

Minor note - dunno if I didn't order the right size, but mine are really really tight on my face. As in "making my ears hurt because the elastic isn't loose enough and pulling them forward" tight.

She makes them all the same size. But people have different sized heads, so it's hard to accommodate everyone with one size. Lemme send you a PM

Let us know if you decide to ship to Canada?

I wouldn't count on that.
The cost of shipping from the USA to Canada is notoriously, grossly inflated for some reason.
Standard shipping price for a box about the size of a coffee table book, maybe a pound or two (500g-1000g).
From New York to L. A., about 2500mi/4000km - A little over $8.
From Detroit to Windsor, about 5mi/8km- Just under $30

What would it cost to drive across the bridge to a Canadian UPS store and ship from there? Not counting the cost of passport processing.

I know, right?
Oh, and the bridge/tunnel fee for a single passenger vehicle is about $5 each way, less if you purchase ahead or have a pass.
I just automatically assume anyone who does the journey as a daily commute likely also has a lucrative side business shipping at least a couple packages per day.

"One size fits most."

So far, that's been true. We've only had a few folks who reported that the elastic was too short. Mostly from halforumites...we just got big brains or something ;)

I have a big head, too. Found that out when I got sized for my navy dogbowl. I needed her to make one with more elastic in it.

Yes - though they all have the disposable ones.

It came out pretty well, but I washed it when I got home.

@Tinwhistler - you can tell the wife that the larger loops make it relatively comfortable.
