Vaccines are here!
Yay!

💉

It’s the first step out of this pandemic and maybe back to normal? There’s still a way to go so no doubt we’ll need masks again: for uni, for commuting, for shopping.

💝

To celebrate Australia’s vaccine roll out I ordered some cute little pins to give away to you lovely people who ordered masks and helped everyone to stay safe.

I’ve got 5 THANKS SCIENCE pins to give away with a free mask. Comment below if you’d like one. Must be a follower. If more than 5 comment I’ll have to use a random generator thingy. That’s it.

Thank you for believing in science 🙏

A small flurry of face masks heading over to Perth. Hopefully they arrive quickly. Must be a bolt from the blue after 10 months without any Covid around. Sneaky little virus. Stay safe!

Hey, I’m back from my break. We wore our masks indoors, even when we were the only ones. Better to be safe than sorry! My hands have recovered and I’m ready to fill those custom mask orders that you’ve sent me since last Friday.

✂️

First up will be a couple of these gorgeous fussy cut Tula Pink Elizabeth masks. I need to count how many more motifs are left in this piece of fabric cause, once it’s gone, it’s gone!

💐

A big Thank You to my Crafty Panda who contacted customers and sent out parcels whilst I was away. What a superstar ✨

Hey lovely peeps, hope you’re all well! Thought

Hey lovely peeps, hope you’re all well!

Thought I’d pop in to remind you that there is a right way to wear your masks.

🌸

You’ll notice that the top has a slight peaked edge. That’s designed to sit over your nose. The scooped edges dip down and help fit around your nose.

The straight side is the bottom, and that should fit snuggly under your chin.

🥽

A well fitted mask should feel comfortable, have flat sides against your cheeks and cause minimal fogging of glasses. If you struggle to get a good fit, consider a different size or use something like Hollywood Tape on the inside of your mask.

🤓

If the fogging is a persistent issue and drives you nuts, you can order the added nose bridge. These are removable for washing and extra pieces are included with your order in case they break. They need to be added before the mask is constructed though. I can’t retro fit them, sorry!

I’m happy to answer your questions here or via DM.

In the meantime, as you were! Keep physically distancing, washing your hands and MASK UP!
😘

Just a friendly reminder that I’m taking a week

Just a friendly reminder that I’m taking a week off custom orders. Any custom orders placed now won’t be made till after the 16th January.

💖

There are still 100+ masks Ready To Ship. But it’s a lucky dip situation. My Crafty Panda will do her best to fill your requests if you leave a note with your online order 🙏

Stay safe and relaxed everyone. We’re going to be ok as long as we look after each other xx

Lots of you have ordered 5 masks. One for each day

Lots of you have ordered 5 masks. One for each day of the work week! That’s very clever really.

🧼

Do you know how to look after your masks? They need to be washed and dried completely. I recommend a warm wash with detergent, by hand is ok as long as you get it nice and sudsy. Then rinse well and hang them to dry, in the sun if you can. Finally, press them with a hot iron to make them crisp and flat. This helps repel water droplets on the outside and the boxed shape keeps the mask off your lips.

🧺

Washing, drying and ironing your masks is crucial if you wear them often. It will help prevent skin blemishes and infection.

📛 Do not iron the plastic beads on the ties!

Covid is deadly serious but your masks don’t need to be! Love the fun that people are having when they place their orders online.

🎉

Winding down on the custom orders for a week as I take a break from the intense workload... the shipping elves will be available to answer queries and send stock on hand.

👾

First photo are masks that have gone out. I can make more in a week.

🐕

Second photo is of Ready To Ship masks available online. These are all size L - fits most older teens and women. If you want to order these leave a note for: Doggies; Kawaii pink or blue; Magpie Cameo.

🧼
Take care out there, practice physical distancing, wash your hands and wear a mask when indoors in recommended areas xx

Thank you for all your lovely messages when you receive your masks. That’s really what keeps me going 🤗

Meanwhile... I’m still working hard to finish all your orders. Wish I could clone myself.

I’m going to take a break from mask making next week. I think the initial rush has slowed down. There are still plenty of masks ready to ship. But I won’t be making custom from this Friday for a week.

If you have your heart set on a custom mask, order today or tomorrow please.

I’ll be uploading photos of ready to ship masks to help you choose. The shipping department (aka my kids) will still be processing orders.

I think it’s crazy that the Sydney Test is going ahead with a 10,000 capacity during a Covid outbreak. But I understand the importance of it as a fundraising event for the McGrath Foundation.
💗
Fingers crossed for us Sydney. Please * Mask Up * if you’re going to the SCG for the Test.

Keeping things interesting... a black machine to sew the black masks!
Such a sweet machine, though don’t be fooled, she’s powerful and determined.

We at @mask_up_sydney like to match our sewing machine colours with the masks we are sewing...

💚

Not really, but it does speed things up using all three machines at once, each one set up with a different colour thread. Then I get to play musical chairs .
Why didn’t I think of that earlier?

Due to popular demand: I caved, I made plain black

Due to popular demand:
I caved, I made plain black masks. I tried to bring everyone along on the bright and cheery journey but some people are just too stubborn.

They are not my favourites but I’ll do whatever it takes if it means you will wear a mask!

🖤🖤🖤

Order via my website. Choose the B&W option and leave a note that you’d like a plain black mask! Or be dazzled by all the gorgeous colourful options and revive your cold dark heart!

Colourful, cheery masks for every body. These XL & XXL face coverings will hopefully let people know that you’ve got a lovely smile, even if we can’t see it!

🌈

Don’t forget to leave specific fabric requests with your order, I’ll do my best to match your personality with something fabulous. I’ve got loads of treasures cause I’ve been hoarding fabric for over 20 years. Gulp!

Wow, it’s been a busy day! I’ve been slammed with orders. I’ll be sewing till late tonight to have everything ready for the courier in the morning.

💟

Custom orders take a little longer as I have to locate your fabric, cut out the three layers and piece each mask. Orders from now on are a 48hr turnaround. Unless I have what you want in stock. Feel free to send me a DM to check.

🙏

Thanks for your patience. If you’re in a great hurry, get in touch. I’ll do my best to help out.
