Covid-19 has changed pretty much everything. Wearing a face mask being one. Since it has been recommended that we wear one, I decided to have a bit of fun with it and designed this dog nose as a cover for a mask. It is not intended to be worn as the mask itself, due to the porous nature of aida, but simply a cover to adorn a mask. It has a lining and a bit of fiber fill inside of it to help maintain the shape, so it does give a bit of extra filtration to a cloth mask. It can be attached to the mask using snaps, velcro or even magnets.

Why use cross stitch?  Because cross stitch allows me to make tiny details that would be difficult to do by another method.  Who says that cross stitch is only good for flat things?  Now you can stitch a mask cover using cross stitch for the details.

The cover is stitched as 3 pieces which are then cut out and sewn together.  The download includes the pattern for the cover and lining and full assembly directions with illustrations.
