Hey, you.  You’re finally awake.  You were trying to cross the border, right?  Walked right into that Imperial ambush, same as us, and that thief over there.

How to make a washable cloth mask out of a bandana that is slightly better than just using a bandana.

(With hand sewing)

(And no rulers or measuring tape because I couldn't find any in my house)

You will need:

  • A standard size cotton bandana
  • Pen and paper for measuring
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread
  • Use a sheet of 8.5x11 paper to measure out a piece of cloth that's 17x8.5 inches (or 16x8 if you wiggle it a bit)
  • That should leave you with 3-ish inches of fabric the full width of the bandana. Cut that bit into 4 strips (you will have about enough leftover fabric to just about make a second mask)
  • Fold the strips in half lengthwise and stitch them flat (everything you do will use a straight stitch)
  • Fold the large piece of fabric in half, tucking the edges opposite the fold inward half an inch.
  • Pin the strips in the corners, pin the edges of the cloth together, sew everything in place.
  • Fold 3 horizontal pleats into the mask and pin them in place.
  • Sew up and down the sides of the mask to fix the pleats in place.

To wear the mask rest the top on the bridge of your nose and make sure the bottom is under your chin. Tie the strips closed tightly enough that the mask doesn't slip down when you move your head.

Wash the mask after wearing it out, use water over 165 Fahrenheit to sanitize it before you wear it again.

Wash your hands, avoid going out if you can, and this mask is not intended to be perfect protection, just something better than wrapping a scarf around your face for folks who can't get masks and don't have easy access to sewing machines or a lot of fabric.

Stay safe.

yay, pattern for someone who doesn't have a sewing machine or any sewing ability!

ok, question:

what's best practice for washing if you don't have a washing machine? like can you use a microwave instead of boiling water on the stove?

submitted by someone who is not used to washing fabric by hand, and who doesn't have onsite access for laundry or an outside place to hang dry

Do you have an oven? If you have an oven set the temp to 165 Fahrenheit and heat the masks in the oven for 20 minutes.

Or, yes, microwaved boiled water is just as good as stove boiled water. Put a bowl on the counter, put the mask in the bowl, microwave water in a mug (most home microwaves will get close to boiling 12oz of water with 2 minutes on the quick cook/one touch options) pour over the mask until the mask is covered, let stand until cool enough to touch.

Once the mask is sanitized you can hand wash it with the rest of your clothes. Wring out as much water as you can, re-shape the pleats, and lay flat to dry to preserve the pleats (which, aside from expanding the size of the mask also help to block droplets so keeping the pleat is pretty important!). If you have an iron you can hang the masks to dry in your shower and iron the pleats back into place after the mask is dry.

Or you could have folded it on the diagonal and tied over your face. Literally the same efficacy.

Bandanas are definitely an option and they are definitely better than nothing!

The advantage of a pleated mask is that you can more comfortably cover your face. In order to get a bandana tied on tightly enough that it won't slip down squashes my nose a lot and makes it more difficult for me to breathe. The two-point ties on a pleated mask mean that I can tie it on very tightly without squishing my nose or ears.

Additionally it helps the mask create a better (though not perfect) seal under your chin. If you are wearing a bandana out and about make sure to tuck the hanging end into your shirt or a scarf.

(I promise, i didn't even realize the end was curled up there, i thought it was flat. Tucking it into your shirt improves the seal and prevents mistakes like this.)

So, I was Talking with tumblrbot and he send me That
I can believe That somebody love like tumblrbot
Sometimes I think That tumblrbot Is a very nice person, but I remember That he Is an android and Is a Little bit strange. But I love him too.

Do you remember the first time I saw you without your mask? How could I forget. You were headbanging so hard, it flew right off and whacked me in the face! Heh. You were so worried about my bloody nose that you didn’t even notice at first. I felt bad. Yeah, but then once I told you I was fine… why did you cry? Because you didn’t look away. ━ SALLY FACE | 2016

Hi, My Chemical Romance fanbase.

I put this video together a year or so ago and thought it would be appropriate to upload upon the release of “Fake Your Death.”

This is a twelve minute compilation of harder-to-find My Chemical Romance pre-production videos. Most, if not all, of these videos are from Revenge. There’s some joking around, there’s some undeniable Ray Toro quotes, there’s some silly pajama pants, and there’s some really great insight into how they wrote and practiced as a band.

Hope you guys enjoy it. If you know of any pre-production videos I don’t have here, let me know so I can add them in. 

Until we see what May Death Never Stop You has to offer us, this can hold us over. Good ol’ days.

I calculated when the next FOB, Panic! and TØP albums and tour dates will take place

Fall Out Boy:

Album: march 2020

Tour: september 2020

.

Panic! At The Disco:

Album: january 2021

Tour: february-june 2021

.

Twenty One Pilots:

Album: january-february 2021

Tour: february-september 2021

.

This is all based on math and their previous releases and tour dates. Don't hate on me if it's wrong, hate on their irregularity.

Underappreciated genres of old-school rock:

  • My friend with an unusual nickname sure is awesome, and I strongly encourage them to continue doing whatever it is that they do
  • Here, have an eleven-minute orchestral intro for a two-minute song
  • Really, this whole business is just a delivery mechanism for the stupid fucking pun in the chorus
  • You think this is deep, but it’s really about a horse
  • I discovered a particular configuration of amp settings that makes a really weird noise, and I must share it with the world
  • An incomplete list of things that give me a boner (part 3 of 5)
  • I tried to parody a genre of music I don’t care for and accidentally produced a perfect example of the thing I was trying to make fun of
  • Behold my vocal range, ye mighty, and despair
