The first preorders are getting ready to ship out- all that’s left is to hand wash them- so that means I’m starting a new preorder!

Like many, I’m still without a job. Making these shaped masks has been the only source of income I’ve had for six months. Not only do the sales help me personally, they also allow me to continue to buy supplies so I can donate regular masks to charities or folks who can’t afford them. I’ve donated 120 to different organizations and well over 200 masks to people who have reached out to me. Just 50 masks will pay my rent.

Like before I will be selling these masks at a discounted preorder price.  The reason to make these masks a preorder is that I need to know how much fabric to buy! That’s because @dani-gdraws and I have paired up and they have created fantastic pride fabric that will look amazing with any shaped mask. This fabric will be available in all of the shaped masks! I really love this fabric and will keep these masks as preorder until January 20, 2021.The preorders will go out in different batches but will officially end in January. 

I would be thankful and appreciative if you could buy a mask or share and spread the word.

Hi y’all.

It’s been a moment. I’m still here and still finishing up some custom requests. :) I stepped back, mostly to sew, but because I found it near impossible to keep up with social media, sewing, and grad school. If you’ve been following me since I first started you also know that I spent a really long time sewing preorders. I would abandon everything else all day and sew from 5 am to 12 am some days but it was still so slow.

Don’t get me wrong, the shaped masks are a lot of careful work. There are a minimum 12 pieces of fabric/pellon after all. But, it highlighted even more how I’ve been struggling to keep focused.

I’ve seen a number of doctors over the last few years to actually listen to me and to confirm what I thought was wrong. A few days ago I was diagnosed with ADHD. I started new medication and within a day everything in the world seems so much easier to handle. I learned that my best days in the past were actually just subpar normal. I can finally handle basic tasks that I don’t care for doing (aka dishes), without feeling like I’m fighting myself. I look forward to getting more masks out in a timely manner, experiment with making new things, and keeping up with everyone via social media.

Thanks everyone ☺️

I’m an American and I know that many of my fellow Americans are, at best, worried. No matter the tension the next few days there will still be a fight for justice and what is right. 

I want to help more.

I have opened up pre-orders for regular fitted masks with a pattern created by Ashley Summers. 50% of the profits, minus shipping, will be given to a new charity that helps fight injustice each month. This month’s donation will go to the ACLU. 

It will take approximately two weeks to get the fabric, the images of the mask you see are to show the fit, and after that will be shipped out in order received. You can find them ready to pre-order at my Kofi shop.

I wanted to tell all of you thank you again and give you an update! 

Because I met my goal of preorders I have put two more masks up for preorder on Kofi! These masks are “A Child” inspired by everyone’s favorite baby in the Mandalorian and “Chubby Wings” which are wings, but chubby. The presales on these two masks will last until November 21st and will start to be mailed out on the 23rd, in the order they were received. 

[image description: two masks. The first is sage green and extends out from both sides of the face and looks like long pointed ears like Yoda. The second is multiple burgandy colors in a marbled pattern and it extends past the face to look like wings with rounded edges and a small spiral pattern near the front of the mask.]

The “Chubby Wing” mask is made with a marbled fabric and each mask will look just a little bit different from one another!

There has been some concern with Kofi because when folks have tried to order multiple masks that aren’t the same they have had to pay shipping for each item. I contacted Kofi and they said they are going to be implementing  a shopping cart system and it would come soon. Until then- if you have paid shipping twice I will refund you the extra shipping you paid for once preorders are over. If you want to order multiples now please select one mask, order the amount you would like, and then contact me on Tumblr, or through the Maskcare for All facebook page, tell me the name you ordered under and the masks you actually want. Because of the shopping cart issue, and there isn’t a way to create discount codes, I will be shifting over to Etsy after preorders are filled. If Kofi fixes the shipping issue I will sell some through them as well.

After the 7th I will be putting up premade and full priced masks up for sale. These masks will be $15 and $20 before shipping and will be made with fabrics that might be difficult to purchase more than once. For example- fabrics with prints instead of solid colors. 

I can’t wait for these masks to go out into the world and see how you all like them! Again, thank you so so much for the support!

The wings of the masks naturally don't lay completely flat against your head. That means you get to quietly giggle at your shadow.

All, I just wanted to let you know there will be a slight delay in shipping. I don't have the ability to go physically out and get stamps, or go to the post office, thanks to my car. (Lofty goal is to sell 1,200 masks so I can buy a new car in cash) So, I've started up with a third party shipping company and I'm just waiting for the supplies to get here. Everything will be ready to go as soon as I get it!

Our celebration is well loved and well earned!!! After we have our joy there will still be injustice to fight. So, I wanted to take the political moment to remind everyone that I have opened up pre-orders for regular fitted masks with a pattern created by Ashley Summers. 50% of the profits, minus shipping, will be given to a new charity that helps fight injustice each month. This month’s donation will go to the ACLU. Hopefully, if all goes well, I have the next two charities planned out. 

It will take approximately two weeks to get the fabric, the images of the mask you see are to show the fit, and after that will be shipped out in order received. You can find them ready to pre-order at my Kofi shop.

All of you have blown my mind with your response to my masks and my heart is filled with joy ❤❤ the response has been so much that I think I'll make a seperate tumblr for Maskcare for All so all of you can stay updated if you want.

I got well over the preorder amount I initially wanted so I'll be introducing two more masks on Monday!!
