Sewing Pattern – Leather Biker Face Mask Pattern

This Face mask sewing pattern is a cross between biker cool dude and Hannibal Lecter. I am sure though it is going to be a very popular style with the males, I think it might be a great way to encourage the younger teen male to wear a mask if he looks like a biker dude right? You can grab the pattern via Etsy. Even if this mask doesn’t stop you getting the virus it will certainly keep people 1.5 metres away from you.

I’m always tempted by the pretty velvets at the fabric store. So much texture! And the way the fibers catch the light! But sewing on velvet is trickier than you’d think. That nap that lends beautiful texture also likes to slip and crawl. That nap can also spell disaster if you cut a piece the wrong direction. That isn’t to say you shouldn’t use buy that velvet and sew it into something gorgeous, you just need to go into your velvet sewing project prepared. And Melissa at Melly Sews has a post that takes you step by step through sewing on velvet.

Velvet is such a luscious fabric, especially for winter sewing projects. Of course there are velvet Christmas sewing projects – stockings, tree skirts, santa hats – but velvet is beautiful for all winter. Think of all the gorgeous velvet dresses, evening bags, hair accessories, even pillows and other home décor that you see all winter long.
