Birthday Giveaway: Masks for Milliners!
I found this fantastic polished cotton fabric printed with historical millinery designs and decided to use it in a promotional giveaway to celebrate my upcoming birthday.
I've made it into masks, since that's our requisite accessory in these pandemic times.
The masks are made from two layers of woven cotton fabric with blue cotton twill-tape ties. They're the pleated surgical mask style, as that allows for the full hat image to be visible when worn. (They do not have a nose wire--you can easily add one yourself if you like.)
One of my display heads modeling a mask, along with a smart navy fedora from a vintage block.
Here's how to enter:
On my birthday, Tuesday June 9th, I'll choose five winners, each of whom will receive a set of five masks with five different historical hat designs.
Costume makers and designers, milliners, historical reenactors, or just folks who like the imagery--all are welcome to enter the giveaway! Open internationally!
Due to the limited quantity of fabric, I regret that winners will not be able to choose which five designs they receive.
Disclaimer: these masks do not conform to specifications from any medical or government agency for PPE to protect against COVID-19. They are intended to serve as the "cloth face coverings" recommended or required by many state and local health departments during this time of pandemic.
The other four designs!
Due to slight variations in panel width/height, each set of masks will accommodate faces wide, narrow, long, and short.
Thank you for taking part in my birthday giveaway, and good luck!
ETA: Due to the international protest against racism and police violence, I concluded this giveaway by contacting winners privately and mailing the masks out. Upon reflection, I decided that social media didn't need the clutter of my promotional content at a time when millions are taking to the streets and using various platforms/feeds to coordinate actions. Black lives matter. Be safe out there.
