DIY jazzy facemasks

by Ken Laster

During this COVID-19 isolation, I must have way too much time on my hands. I have been obsessed with DIY facemasks. Since I don’t sew, either with a machine or by hand (despite actually trying), I spent way too much time watching YouTube in search of the best “no-sew” face covers. After experimenting with many designs, I decided on this one that can be made without stabbing my fingers with sewing needles. Past years Paul Brown Monday Night Jazz t-shirts provide the perfect graphics for these masks. Here are the results:

My instructions for creating no-sew facemasks using Hartford Jazz Society T-shirts or any other cool prints on fabric are below. Mobile users may want to click here to view in Google Slides.

i had been a member since the early eighties and want to continue to be one. Somehow Bill had trouble with my email contact and I was dropped. How may I reestablish my membership?

I’ll find your podcast.

I love the t-shirt idea. How can I get more t-shirts?
