We appreciate your patience as we navigate this new way of doing business. In an effort to keep our staff and at risk customers safe we encourage our staff and customers to wear masks. No need to wear gloves, as they are not considered effective and we want you to touch the fibers. We do have hand sanitizer all around the shop for our staff and customers to apply often as this is being recommended as an effective tool against the virus.

Even when we are open to walk in customers, we encourage you to use our online web shopping option, call 317-776-4227 for phone orders or email: orders@alwaysinstitches1.com to complete your purchases. We do our best to respond to your order within one business day and work through orders in the order they are received. We have added staff specifically to meet the needs of our new "not in the shop" customers. Currently our phone lines have been super busy, so if you don't reach us, try one of the other ways to make contact. We DO care and want to help you find just what you are looking for in our shop.

Face Mask Pattern

We have communicated with state government officials and medical personnel in an effort to bring you the most accurate information regarding the sewing of masks.

In the interest of being effective in our efforts please read the following:

Use ONLY good quality cotton fabric such as quilting cottons or dense woven cotton - we suggest a layer of cotton and a layer of flannel in each mask. Interfacing is not needed when using this combination.
Wash all fabric BEFORE making the mask - these need to withstand repeated washings and must be pre-washed prior to making the mask.
This pattern includes the use of a wire across the nose which we do not recommend - as this may limit the potential use of a mask. The wire does not hold up to the repeated washing/sterilization.
They prefer masks without elastic. Elastic does not hold up to repeated washing/sterilization. Fabric binding used to make ties works very well.
If you are sick or someone in your home is sick, please do not spread those germs by making or delivering masks to any location.

Please watch our Facebook page for the latest information about this ongoing situation. Together we will manage to get through this health crisis.

Stay safe and keep washing your hands.

Any questions about this process or the pattern you can email: Capi@alwaysinstitches1.com
