Re: Sewing strips
Some companies cut the strips to measure from the tip and some from the inside angle. Just measure your strips and sew accordingly.

Re: Masks
FYI, In my stash I found two "Pin Wheel Bejewel" rolls of quilting cotton cuts 21/2". Cut lengthwise, they are the perfect size for four mask straps. I'm making them for a local dealer.

Re: Masks
