More mask madness - I'm relearning how to sew - no small thing - but we learned that on the old Singer machine the lightbulb is also a fuse! 
(That's actually kind of clever).
These are cotton with a layer of blue shop towel in the middle to filter. We need to see how these wash - first - (we take them out for a spin Thursday to see how they Breathe!).
The nose piece in these are superior though - I found Bonsai wire (aluminum wire) and it holds it's shape! I'm hoping for no foggy glasses with these.
If nothing else we'll look different from the masses.
Oh and for those of you hiding M&Ms in your mask? I'm pretty sure you could fit a whole bag in these....

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I've been hot on the mask train! I had to do some tweaking as well. The first versions were ok when it was still cool, but the Missouri heat and stifling humidity take their toll, so I came up with something that takes less fabric. I've received positive feedback on those! I have small, medium and large sizes and make a bunch. I never did like the ones that are shaped. They remind me of jock strap cups.

Masks are becoming a fashion statement!
Good job!
I think you might be a bit too thick with that extra layer of toweling in there....the concern is to trap most of your outgoing breaths, not filter air coming in....but you'll discover this soon enough!

Regardless of how you feel about Pelosi, her matching mask/outfit combos are giving me ideas....and I'm diggin the scarves. Put it on your face, cover your bad hair....awesome!
In the beginning , when the stores didn't have masks , I looked around to see what I could do , in a hurry . I found a clean napkin , folded it in half and found a stretchy pant cuff I had cut off a new pair of slacks , that made a very comfortable head band .
