A Quilter's Views on Face Masks
Face masks. Well it's a big topic of conversation, but I sure wish it wasn't. Can't we go back to "normal", like B.C. - before coronavirus??? I have three teenagers, two in high school and one going off to his first year of college. They are far from thrilled to be forced to wear masks.
From a quilter's point of view, well it's just another excuse to sew!! I keep trying new styles, with different fabrics and making my family try them out. Another reason I don't hate mask making is because it has launched my business to a whole new level of success. Sure I've sold a few masks online but not a ton. My best selling masks are those made with Kaffe Fassett fabrics. . . gorgeous materials. Kaffe Fassett fabric face masks:
My biggest seller has been a surprising one though. I have always sold fat quarter bundles of cotton fabrics. Fat quarter bundles are bundles of fabrics that are each different and each cut to measure 18" x approximately 22" inches. My bundles always consist of 7 different fabrics and usually have a theme to them. But my biggest seller with 246 sales as of the time of this blog post is my fat quarter bundle grab bag that consists of 7 batik fabrics. You can choose between earth tones or a bundle of bright colored batiks. https://sewhappyquilting.com/collections/fabric-fat-quarter-bundles/products/fat-quarter-bundle-grab-bag
Most of the purchasers comment about making masks out of the batiks. They are cool on the face, colorful, unique and fun! Who doesn't need a little bit of fun in their lives?!? And as a "creative" myself, I'm so excited to have more people than ever, creating!!! I still wish it wasn't face masks and I which this pandemic never happened but fingers are crossed it is behind us soon.
In the meantime, be safe out there and find some fun in each day.
