FACE COVERING/MASK SEWING TUTORIAL

I've detailed my step by step for making my favorite face covering/ mask pattern. I have downloaded the pattern from the link below. I have drafted the pattern up and down to make sizes. The face covering in the video is an XL that I have adjusted to be bigger than the L. The best thing about this face covering is that it has ear elastics and head straps.

Denim Scrap Patchwork Pillow Tutorial for Fabrscrap

I sewed all the scraps together in strip patterns and then arranged them in a pleasing composition. I played for a while with the color blocks of light and dark shades making sure that the led the eye around the whole pillow. There's no wrong way to do it, but I think the composition is my favorite element of the "crazy quilt".

I pinned them down on a 21x21" piece of dark wash denim and then stitched them down like an applique. I've included some photos of my process here. I also taught a workshop for FABSCRAP on how to make it. I've uploaded the class video on my YouTube channel.
