I saw an interesting face mask on one of your blogs a few days ago.
Appearing to be made from the zipper area of jeans, one can unzip and take a sip from a drink.
During yesterday’s decluttering project, I ran across an old pair of mom jeans and thought to give making that mask a try.
Taking a break from clutter management, I pulled out the sewing machine and voila!
Nailed it!
Well, kinda, sorta, because it’s sloppy work. Online research did not produce a pattern to follow, so I winged it. And not wanting to break the needle of my machine in trying to sew through heavy areas to make the edges all tidy like the example in the photo, I decided to leave the edges frayed. After all ... frayed jeans are the thing these days.
The end result is not something I’d wear out in public, like to the market or craft store ─ preferring my glitter masks but, once I’m allowed to get back to training at the Pain Cave, inasmuch as I have to hydrate between sets, which necessitated pulling up a side of my mask to take a drink, I might use this mask instead ... open the fly and sip.
hee hee hee, you got talent, shirley! but I do like your other masks better.
ReplyDeleteI definitely like my glitter masks better, but this was a fun diversion from housework. Only took me an hour to figure it out.
DeleteYou did a fantastic sewing job! I like it. I'd seen that as well as one which has a little covered "porthole" to slip a straw through. The one you made will be good for a laugh and a conversation starter if you ever decide to wear it in company!
ReplyDeleteWill definitely be good for a laugh. I may have to post the photo to facebook and ask who wore it better ... me or that guy. LOL.
DeleteI love it. I think any girl would wear this better. Talk about sexual innuendo. Weeeeooooh. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd that's why I'd not wear it in public. LOL. I'd be setting myself up for those innuendos. Even if the innuendos were unspoken, I'd read it naughty grins and guffaws.
DeleteMy face in the crotch of an old pair of Levis?
ReplyDeleteI'm game! =)
Yes, LOL, but what would Carlos think about that.
DeleteJust the thing for the Pain Cave.
ReplyDeleteThat's Cute and just the thing for during a Workout!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I had not seen that. So funny,
