Silk Face Masks

During the Corona virus lockdown I have been making unisex face masks fashioned from double layered 100% silk twill from Frances Nutt London pocket squares. They have an internal pocket in which you can add additional layers of disposable filtration material if desired. Each one is made at home by me using my grandmothers Singer sowing machine and hand finished. Beauty and Safety. Washable and Reusable.
