Meetup 7 Accessorizing Your Total Outfits

Image
  MASKS, SCRUNCHIES, EARRINGS, PURSES, CLUTCHES, SHOES... ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES No One wants to Wear a mask, But why not have fun with it! We sell a variety of chains by the yard... great to add to a jacket front pocket or purse as handle or just a little drape of a tiny chain. Don't forget earrings-dangly chains are great with a matching necklace chain... you go girl!... well, anyone, for that matter. In this pic, I used leftover fabric to make a purse to match a tote bag and a coat. I wear a mask, my mom is 99 and I live at her house. My masks have elastic ear loops, whatever I have handy, nicer if softer elastic and big, then an adjustable button to make it tight or loose. When I make them I also make a second casing on the sides where the ear elastic is so I can put a neck hanger if I want to. This is from the original hospital posting of how to make a facemask. This is a semblance of the masks I make, but I use a second row of stitching next to where the elastic is through on

Meetup 6 Long Hoodie Coverup Robe

  Long Hoodie Coverup Robe Meetup 6 Okay, I am thinking I will line the Hoodie and front lapels with the same fabric.  The pattern actually called for 2 sided or reversible fabric, but I only wanted lightweight so it would be good as a chilly beach coverup, or too chill indoors robe. Side pockets were good. Front kimono type edging is lined with flat batting I had handy to keep edges still soft and cozy but flexible.  That worked! With Accessories-Infinity Scarf and Earrings Lush and Cozy-So lightweight and soft Hoodie I put a cord in that I had laying around from facemask hangers and added a lock toggle I purchased from Gstreetfabrics. I purchased 4 pairs of toggles in different colors to keep me on a roll with the hoodie thing.  Doing Cashmere colored ribknit and a   camouflage print that matches one of my bathing suits.  The others will all be with set in sleeves, as I like that type of shoulder better. I happen to have these brown leather loop sets, as I used them on a coat I made
