Cotton Fabric face masks

[Swing]

I was sewing some today for local relatives. Alabama now asking everyone to wear one when out for essential business stuff.

Took me one to adapt pattern I was using to get what felt comfortable and easy for older family.

I also made a smaller version for my 9 yr old granddaughter.

(Oh! No! Now you know how I look when not prepared for photos, and just doing at home working.)

Link your pattern? Tomorrow I hope I will get at least two made.
Did you line yours?

Each is 3 layers of quilting cotton or muslin. The front is lined with muslin, then a different fabric on the back so you can keep the same side out each time.

Here is a YouTube I based mine on. But I don't have ties on these. I have 6.5 inch loop from top to bottom of elastic on the sides. Fits over ears. The elastic in this is longer and goes over head and around neck.




Below gives the measurements.

For my 9 year old granddaughter, I made the ear elastic 5.5 inches and cut the rectangle down by an inch at top and one side. Same number of pleats but shallower.

I like how they do the sides and install the elastic (or could be ribbons or t-shirt ties).

i was changing out my AC filter and actually read the stuff on the package

I noticed it filters out viruses and bacteria.
SOOOOOOOOOO....
I made some masks using the filter . 6'' x 9'' with elastic on top and bottom

Can you breathe through it? Is it flexible enough?

 

[Frodo]

YES. I can breath through it. heck you can see through it

So, using it to commit a crime isn't what it's rated for?
