In that light, all Americans were asked to wear masks from basic cloth in order to stop coronavirus spreading.

Tools and materials

Here is an easy guide how to make a mask.

What you need for this pattern:

Tools

• Needle and thread (and a sewing machine, if you have one)
• Scissors
• Pins or clips to hold fabrics in place (safety pins and paper clips will also work in a pinch)

Materials

• At least 20×20 inches of 100% cotton fabric (like a flat tea towel)
• 4 strips of cotton fabric for ties (about 18 inches long and ¾ of an inch wide), or 4 flat, clean shoelaces, o two flat ¼ of an inch sewing elastics that are 7 inches long

How to make a mask – Step by Step Guide

• Choose your piece of cotton fabric and wash it.

Fold the fabric in half. Measure and cut out a 9.5×6.5 inch rectangle to create two identically sized layers.

Additionally, cut 4 thin pieces of material, about 18’’ long and ¾’’ wide.

Fold each piece lengthwise, then once more to tuck the rough edges inside. Sew a straight line along the middle.

• Take one of the rectangle layers. Pin down 4 fabric ties, one piece on each corner.

Attach the elastics to the first layer of fabric by securing the ends at the corners.

• Furthermore, take the second layer of fabric and lit up with the first. The patterned sides should be facing each other. Secure the fabrics together with pins.

• From the middle of the fabric, sew a straight line cross the mask, toward the bottom left corner.

Make sure the needle goes through the three pieces: the top layer, the end of the fabric tie, and the bottom layer.

• Stitch all around the perimeter of the fabric layers.

Continue to stitch your way toward the starting point, but stop to allow for a 1 ½’’ gap.

• Turn your project right-side out from the little 1 ½’’ gap. Your fabric ties or elastics should now stick out.
• Make three staggered pleats lengthwise on the mask, as if folding a paper fan. Secure each pleat with pins.
• With your pleats held in place by pins, stitch around the perimeter of the mask, ¼’’ away from the edge of the seam.

Finally, the mask is completed.

Upload Videos from Camera Roll to Snapchat Stories

Snapchat memories is the best way to upload videos directly from camera roll to Snapchat stories.

Launch camera screen and swipe to left to open Memories. You can also open Memories by tapping on the circle beneath the Capture button.

On top of the memories tab, use the “Camera Roll” option. This option will give you access to photos and videos saved in your camera roll.

Snapchat will ask your permission to access stuff in your camera roll.

Select any video or photo you want to upload as a story. Tap Edit & Send at the bottom of the screen.

Now tap the blue send button to send the video to your friends or upload it to your stories. Or if you want to create a story and add this video to your story, just tap the menu icon in the top right corner while in editing mode and select “Create Story from this Photo/Video”. You can select multiple videos and photos now. All these videos will be pushed in the Memories tab. You can publish these videos as stories by going to the memories tab and long-pressing these videos.

However, it’s important to note that you cannot upload videos from camera roll that are longer than 10 seconds.

Apple rolled out an update just two days ago and there is already another method to bypass the iPhone passcode lock.  Youtube user videosdebarraquito posted a video described as “Sorry, iOS 6.1.3 has a new security flaw, but can be avoided easily. You should disable the “Voice Dial” option if you want to be safe.”  This new hack makes the iPhone seem very vulnerable after only 2 days of a patch.  We’ll see how Apple responds to this new hack!  In the meantime, just disable your voice dial to stay secure.  You can see the video below.

In your Gmail account, and assuming you are using the new Gmail platform, you can view your inbox’s unread messages first, or messages you’ve previously starrted, or even messages that Gmail thinks are a top priority based on your previous usage data – or high priority.
