Sustainable Face Masks – Mouth and Nose Protection Face Masks Made by Me

Since my childhood, I’ve been interested in fashion and design. I had a toy sewing machine and used to make all sorts of mini outfits from scraps of fabric for my much loved Barbie doll.
⠀
The colourful, glamorous, Barbie adverts on TV always made me think of new ideas for her day and evening wear. After all, she had a luxurious and busy lifestyle, with a wardrobe to match – not to mention a handsome boyfriend. Obviously, I wanted to be a Barbie myself, a princess at least.

So I pursued the fashion career and completed some courses including makeup, style, sewing & garment manufacturing, I undertook one-to-one sewing and pattern making classes and finally had a chance to enter a Fashion Design degree.

I was offered a place in Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts for a Fashion Design (Bachelor’s).
⠀
Because I was very advanced with my skills and knowledge I was moved to the 2nd year after 2 weeks by a Director of the course. Life showed me that if I work hard I will be successful.

Sustainable Face Masks

I use this model now when creating the sustainable face masks and I see that my efforts payback.

All I want now is to contribute to the knowledge and skills I have to stop the spread of
the virus.
⠀
These masks are made of high quality 100% cotton, which means they will not irritate the skin and are eco-friendly.
⠀
All materials including main fabric, lining, the thread are 100% cotton. You can wash them at the high temperature and iron too. And please do so when you receive them and after using them.
⠀
I work in my masks all day long. They are very comfortable – & becoming softer when you wear them for a little bit.
⠀
Can you just imagine how many synthetic masks are thrown away every day at the moment? This is crazy!

I DON’T BELIEVE IN THE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS.

Now, we are entering a very rough time. Only very disciplined and “fanatic” people will survive. Lockdown is the best time to audit your skills & knowledge and fill in the gaps.
⠀
If you have lost your job or income (like me), you are of course allowed to stress about it. But give yourself a couple of days and get back on track.
⠀
Remember, overnight success only happens to those who worked many nights in the row without moaning!
⠀
I hope the virus and crisis will end soon.
⠀
But in the meantime, we need to transform ourselves and be ready for a new challenge that life brings.

The world will never be the same again! You can buy my face masks online by clicking here.

Love your lots, Yuliya.
