5 custom made face mask - design ideas and artisan proposals
Hi there,
The prints with animals are a poly cotton blend, would you be ok with that?
I can share with you the prints available that you can choose from.
That would be for the outer.
We can then use 100% white cotton for the linings inside.

Hello Lulu, thanks for your answer! The giraffeprint is very nice you can use it for one mask. For the second mask(elephantprint) I would choose the second example from the left. It is perfect if you use inside 100percent cotton!
Thanks for your work and I hope things are not to bad in Nairobi.
Kind regards
Elisabeth
Thank you for your response Elisabeth.
This is noted.
I can proceed with your request.

Hi Elisabeth, I'm sorry for the delayed response. Here is the progress of your masks.
I am almost done with them, just need to finish the top stitching and add the elastic. I hope you're happy with the other colours chosen...

Hello Lulu,
Everything is okay, and don't worry for the late answer. I suppose you have much work with the masks. Wish you the best and please be healthy.
Kind regards
Elisabeth
Hi Elisabeth, your masks are ready... I work on the projects from my workshop on weekdays so I have managed to complete them.
I have attached the pictures of the masks. Kindly have a look, they are as requested 3 ply with 100% cotton lining with an opening for a filter.
If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to let me know.
