Made from 100% cotton with a clear vinyl window, the Read My Lips Mask offers a comfortable, snug-fitting, adjustable design.

Sewing Angels volunteer Cristina Phaneuf of Bumbleroot Design adapted her favorite mask pattern to create the design. She maximized the cotton area around the nose to help with breathability and reduce fogging. The clear window is durable and flexible 12 gauge vinyl.

The Front Line Sewing Angels have hired professional seamstresses to manufacture the Read My Lips Mask to sell to the public. The proceeds from these sales support the group’s volunteer effort to provide hand-sewn masks of all kinds to frontline workers and underserved communities across the country.

Read My Lips Masks are no longer available for purchase, but please contact us if you have any questions.
