Out of Zone Mask 2020

Out of Zone Mask 2020

Yes yet another Mask. However this one is slightly different as the Style is completely Out of my Comfort Zone.

Getting Size

 

I start as usual by getting the Size by using a different Mask as a Template and leaving room for Hemming.

Thick Hem

 

This time I have made a Thick Hem. This is because the Decorations are going to be Heavy.

Ear Chain

In a change from the Canvas Ties this time I am using two Old Chains and some Washers.

Centre Pin

 

I have Sew the Chains at the Top of the Mask. I then Sewed the two Washers at the Bottom. These were slightly Overhanging the Edge. This is because I wanted the Tail end of the Chain to go through and make a Loop. I then Folded the Mask in Half to find the Centre and marked with a Pin.

Odds and Sods

 

I am playing around with some Odds and Sods. It is a mixture of Broken Jewellery and assorted fixings including Washers.

Outer Edge 5cm

 

Now having some idea of what sort of Pattern that I want I have to measure from the Centre. It is precisely 5cm from the Pin to the Outer Edge of the Sewn Washer.

Equal Distance

 

I Sew the second Washer in place. These need to be Equal Distance as I am using them as a Marker for the next part.

Six Rings

 

I space out the selected items and Sew them in place. I now have two Washers in a line on each side. The Middle item is a bit of a mystery.

It consists of two Rings, a solid one and one underneath. I think possibly that they are some kind of Curtain Ring. They might have come off the Canvas.

I next Sew two more Washers either side of the Ring. There is a Mirror Image on the opposite side.
