Finally, a working sewing machine .... DIY masks

Inspired by all of the mask makers out there, I dusted off my old sewing machine. Literally, it had dust on it. It was like trying to start an old car that has been in the garage for years. It sputtered and complained. 

My old sewing machine and I have been together for a long time, decades. It's time for my old machine to go under the screwdriver and get a rebuild. While that's happening, I bought a "new" sewing machine. I set it up and it was like driving a Jaguar as opposed to a go-cart. 

Now that the new machine is set up, I'm ready to sew. 

First on the list is making masks. If my sewing is up to par, I hope I can make hundreds of them to donate. 

If you are sewing masks please share your knowledge.
