There is no asymmetry in any one mask. But each mask is different. And yes, they feel wonderful. However, I had to starch them to be able to work with them because they are so fine and soft.

?Are your colors the same or different?
I can feel how wonderful the drape is ...?
And have been touching all my fabrics looking for the best hankie material :-)

Today I went through her button stash and found buttons for my hemp top. 4 buttons will be visible so they needed to match. The rest will be hidden so don't need to match but need to look nice should I wear it open as a light jacket.
Unfortunately, I made the fabric too wide (better than too narrow, I guess). So I have to cut two pieces lengthwise (warpwise) as well as of course, widthwise (weftwise) to make it the right size. It needs to be 23" of fabric total before seaming and I have fabric that is 10" wide. I can go up to about 25" and increase the seam allowance since my fabric is much lighter weight and gauzy than the pattern I'm sort of following.?
All this means more planning because?I think I need 7" width in the center for the neck width. I may end up doing it asymmetric like the original
