Mask
I made several and this is the one I like best. It's shaped to have a space between your nose and mouth which will probably be more comfortable in the summer. Made with 2 layers of cotton with iron-on interfacing; short wire for shaping to nose: open sides to insert additional filter, and elastic ear loops. The nonwoven interfacing provides a good barrier. I'm cutting up HEPA vacuum bags to make rectangular pieces to slip inside if the situation gets worse. Some people are using paper coffee filters. Even paper towels would provide additional protection. I did not feel any air coming into the mask from the sides or edges. if you want a link to the tutorial flicr mail me or ask in the comments section. Be safe. april 2020
