From Abenomask to Pamelanomask
Back in the spring, former Prime Minister Abe and the Japanese government sent two reusable masks to every household in Japan. I wrote about receiving mine here.
I put mine aside and came across them again this week. As you can see they are about 5"x4", kind of small.
I don't like to see exposed noses and I think that if you try to talk when wearing a small mask, it might pull the mask down, exposing a naked nose. I did some basic stitching and added a little fabric across the bottom and am pleased with my own original mask.
What do you think?

This is a great way to make sure we actually use these masks! I like how you extended the size with fabric and the embroidery looks so pretty. Great ideas all around!
Oh, that's a sunny idea! We need it today with all this rain pelting down! I am sure Mr Abe would be envious if he saw your mask.
A great idea and beautiful stitching. I have noticed a lot of people are only covering their mouths when wearing a mask.
Looks wonderful, great idea, it would be a happy mask to see coming towards you on the street. I often see people here with their mouth covered but nose out in the open.
You’ve made the little mask look so pretty, Pamela! Lovely embroidery!
I like the way you’ve made it bigger too. I need to make a couple of the masks I’ve made bigger too - it is a shame not to use them!
It was nice to see how you changed your Abe masks!
Will you wear it?

I love it! I've got some white masks and I was thinking about painting them but unsure of how paint would react over time. Maybe I should pick up some embroidery and give that a try. Much prettier than plain white! I love it!
The embroidery is a nice touch. I had to look for a moment to see the added fabric. Great idea!! I like my nose covered too.
Be safe and well.

Great job! That looks way prettier, and more useful, than the original mask.
