OMG, I now totally see that it looks like half of an old-school bra top -- and I have one of my mom's very vintage swimsuits that has a top like that. Not sure I'd want to deconstruct her suit though.
I used the same pattern! Made two for my husband and son and one for myself. The fabric on mine - while cheery - turned out to be a little heavy so I’ll have to find something else to use. Unfortunately I gave away most of my fabric a few years back so my choices are limited. My son and husband’s are made from a pair of my 90 year old mother’s capris that were headed to Goodwill. I didn’t tell them that

JAileen, you have been busy!
Unfortunately the cute stripe is the too heavy fabric, but I did scrounge up another fabric today. This egg print fabric is left over from a vest I made my now 33 year old son when he was about 8 and interested in birds. Now I wonder where that vest is??

Sal, thank you. Although I don’t know how stylish a mask can be! I texted my friends when I was done and they came over and I tossed them the masks at a proper six foot distance. And my husband mailed off the masks to our son and his girlfriend. They have cats and so the cat masks are theirs. I used up quite a bit of fabric, and ran out of shoelaces. Done!
Fun fabric, and I love the pattern you posted — is the strap adjustable? I tried the bandanna trick, but kept wanting something that felt more fitted. Actually, I don’t want to have to wear one at all... but such is life these days... sigh.
Nemosmom, yes, the strap is adjustable. I wore mine to CVS to buy shoelaces. It stayed on. The other day I used a bandana and it felt like it was going to fall off. I don’t like wearing one either.
I’ve been using a 54 inch shoelace. BTW, CVS is out of them.
Love this. I’ve made a few diff eT patterns and found this style is a good compromise between ease! not using lots of fabric and fitting reasonably well. fCall me if I can help diagnose the sewing machine problem. What model is it and what is the problem?
Karen, thank you. I fixed it myself! I realized it was a friction issue. So I put some painters tape on the wheel to get traction. It’s been a problem ever since I had the belt replaced. My machine is an old Singer Featherweight.
