子どもたちは学校で給食の準備をするときにマスクをします。今まで使っていたものが、何回も洗濯して縮んできたので、今回手作りしてみました。作り方はYouTubeを観て参考にしました。
最初は、厚い方がいいと思って、作り始めましたが、布を重ねすぎると、ミシンで縫う時に失敗してしまったので、ちょうど良い厚さを見つけるまでに時間がかかりました。初めから上手くできるわけもなく、5個くらい作ってやっと納得するものができました。何事も練習が必要です。
The kids wear masks at school while they prepare lunch. The masks they had been using had shrunk in the laundry, so I decided to make them some new ones by hand. I found instructions on Youtube.
At first I thought it would be best to make them as thick as possible, but when I got started I realized that if I fold the fabric too many times, the sewing machine can’t handle the thickness and all in all it took some time to find the right thickness. I didn’t manage to make a good mask on the first try, but finally, after making about 5 of them, I finished a mask I was happy with. I guess practice makes perfect!
REMARKS
In Japan, kids have all sorts of small tasks at school, including the plating up of the lunches and cleaning up afterwards.
