@SewRuthieSews  I’ve updated my text but lost my picture and it won’t let me attach a new photo? I’ve reduced the size of the pic, so it’s not that.  :(

@SewRuthieSews - I'd already put the answers in the correct order, I just hadn't included the questions (I thought it was obvious! :) ) but I've included them now so I hope it's as you want it. :D

@Kenora, sorry I was a bit too vague, my question to you was more about the Christmas decorations at the bottom. Are they a second entry? If so please can you add the info for them?

@SewRuthieSews - no, it's all one entry, so the info about the decorations is included in with the info about the cover. Hope that helps. :)

What is it:

2 Christmas face masks for me to wear when doing the weekly food shop.

Pattern/Instructions:

self drafted pattern so they fit my face perfectly and don’t gape.

Materials/Tools used:

Christmas print cotton fabric and my new Brother Innov-is N1300 sewing machine which is brill. This was the first item I made on it.

A short description on how you made it etc:

Like most of us on here, I’ve made lots of face masks now so it was just a matter of repeating what I’ve done before, but I added a white snowflake stitch as my topstitching for a bit of fun  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  .  :)

@SewRuthieSews

Sorry - I had included all the information but don't realise it needed to be laid out in that way. Hope this is ok now
