I haven't made any masks so far, but my sister wants some. Which pattern do you think fits best?

The masks I make are just the flat, three pleat style. They are not medical grade but for folks just needing some covering, they work. Lots of you tube videos out there And lots of variations on the fitted styles. Good Luck.

I've only made the one on Bonnie Hunter's site. It's amazing how many steps there are to make such a small item. I'm done with it after only making about 30 of them. A hero or martyr I'm not. LOL!

Which way is best to fit a new vanity?
Q

I'd try removing the tiles first. If they don't come off easily, then you can go with plan B: trimming the vanity. How they attached the tiles will affect how hard it is to remove them. We pulled some tiles off a wall above a whirlpool tub to enlarge the shower, then cut and put them back on, and it worked fine. OTOH, when we pulled down our kitchen backsplash, it completely destroyed the drywall. I cut a few tiles at Lowe's once (I needed to miter cut some chair rail, and the blade on my tile saw wasn't big enough to cut all the way through the thickness). They did it for free. I had bought the tiles there, but if you just showed up with a tile or two needing straight cuts, they'd probably do it for you.

Take all the mystery out of making doll clothes patterns that FIT

Liddybuff, you're welcome. Isn't that just the most clever idea? There are some amazingly creative genius women on the web. I couldn't believe how quick and easy this was. If your doll has much of a figure, you will see just where to make darts to flatten your "master pattern" out. Remember that this will make a garment that is skin tight, so allow a little extra seam allowance, and a little more again if it's a dress going over a slip, or shoes going over socks, etc. Between this trick and the book, I'm all set to sew about anything I can imagine (or figure out from photos).

Tinker_2006, I think the dissonance I'm experiencing is because of the highly patterned bedskirt. I think it's beautiful, but it seems like it calls out for an unpatterned comforter or duvet so that you get that soft, smooth lofted look contrasting with the busily patterned bedskirt. You could repeat the eyelet with trim on pillow shams. Also, I like a more decadent look that includes Euro pillows, but that's just personal preference. If I can, later I will try to find some pictures showing what I mean.

I think there is, Donna. It's a really lovely set. We did get some really nasty weather. We lucked out and got only 4-6" of snow. Farther north, they got up to 16" yesterday and I think it snowed overnight too. Yikes. I think the weather gods knew I was leaving Minnesota this year for three months, so they decided to start winter early, just so I wouldn't miss it. I was hoping to avoid driving to work in the snow this year, but I missed out by a week. Friday is my last day.

I use the Missouri Star pattern from Youtube. Once I ran out of elastic, I've been making the tie version.

I have been making the 3-layer pleated masks - using either elastic or ties. They were 7x9 before sewing. I have done about 350 using this method/size. I just got a "kit" of precut fabrics & pelon interfacing from the group I sew with #MasksNow with material cut 8-1/2 x 9 to make 45 of the 3-layer pleated masks which will be a little larger. I usually cut fabrics one day, sew them together another day, turn-iron-and pleat the next, then sew pleats in the next. Keeps me busy!
