Donna Mallard made this mask for her social distancing. She says the material was leftover from probably seven years ago, when she made a pillow for my granddaughter, Amelia.  “Her nickname is Mia and she had a monkey blanket/hoodie that she’d wear, and I’d call her Mia Monkey,” Donna says. “The nickname stuck. Amelia is now 9 and says she “sort of” remembers her Mia Monkey pillow.” Is your mask making a fashion statement? Does the fabric reflect a hobby or is it fancy?
