Today I decided to surprise my husband with a new face mask for him to wear at work. I downloaded the Covid critter from Etsy. If you want to buy the same one , you can find it „here“. I uploaded it I to my embroidery machine and added a couple of details with the add button.  Started embroidering the design on to chosen fabric.  Decided on red lettering Cut shapes to fit my husbands face Sewed the front parts together Then sewed the edges of the mouth piece to clean it up Fold in inside part of cheek pieces and sew Position pieces and sew around the perimeter  After sewing the edges, flip inside out and sew on straps

This sewing machine was gifted to me by my mother in-law. I haven’t used it yet- but definitely treasure it. My husband said he made a skateboard pillow for home economics class on it. It’s neat that this machine comes with memories- makes it even more meaningful.  Helpful resources: How to thread the needle More About the Festival 461 Threading Manual
