Karin and I spent the week creating this spread for today’s Sunday Times Lifestyle, with a free pattern, so that people can make their own masks at home.
Please do share it widely.
Here’s a link to the pattern if you want to download and print it, then cut it out and sew it, or simply to share with someone else who might be able to:

Huge thanks to Andrea and Gila at Sunday Times for buying the idea, and selling it on to The Sowetan for next week, too. And special thanks to Margie Barry, Karin’s mom and our inspiration, who has been making masks like our lives depend on it, which it actually does.
