@randomknits I asked that a while back. Consensus seems to be that they’re probably catfishing. A lot of mine seem to be military or overseas, which is presumably so they have an excuse to ask you to wire money to them. I block them all now.

@cczona @freesewing_org I think it fits my face the best, but I’m still not a fan of tying behind my head because I have longer hair and it gets caught up in it. I liked one design that had hair elastics to go around the ears, so I’m wondering if I can adapt the Fu to use that…

---

@the_patima Acceptable, AND I want to go to there.

---

@cczona @bonaventuresoft @freesewing_org I can’t claim credit! I just went back through my mentions from a few weeks back to verify it was the lovely @chixors who shared the idea. She’s actually putting a bread tie in hers, so that’s another option I’ll try.

@cczona @bonaventuresoft @freesewing_org @chixors I’m currently using a snipped piece of wire from a plastic coated clothes hanger. It’s pretty stuff though – not sure if it’ll be uncomfortable for longer wearing.

Made another iteration of Fu masks from @freesewing_org. Ties are sewn from old leftover bias binding. Used lightweight interfacing on lining to stiffen a little. Also used a bit of bias to make a pocket for removable nose wire – much better fit! https://t.co/TmLjEzNy5X

Still shocked every single time I hear someone use “open the kimono” in a business context. Really not cool.

@chewxy A less racist/sexist phrase to use would be “peek under the hood,” if that clarifies. Basically – reveal what is hidden.

@chewxy Lucky for you! I hear it every now and then and it’s always jarring.

@bmcevoy If you want to look at my replies, most folks have a visceral negative reaction to it. So I’d definitely rethink using it in any professional context.

---

@marksbirch @mattstratton Literally heard it today, and I’ve had at least one seemingly sincere person in my replies saying he doesn’t get why it’s objectionable. 🤷‍♀️ So it’s definitely still around.
