@colleenyoung I’ve been doing a lot of research on the masks. What I have found out is that our home made masks won’t prevent the virus, but they can help with social isolation. Signals people to stay 6’ away. Also, reminds you not to touch your face. It is impossible to find the right filters for the “to-code” masks, anyway.

I cannot even sew a button on properly. Don't laugh, it's true! I end up with the thread knotting, breaking, getting blood on what I'm trying to put the button on--OH, I am a mess. No way could I make a mask! Anyway, I did read this: you can take a new filter for a sweeper--one which is for HVAC--anyway, and sew this into the mask. I can't remember now. I have a problem with my memory! Perhaps you may research this??? God bless you! May we all stay sane and well during this time of isolation! I have hibernated since December. I was ill then this happened. I am very happy to have a computer. It's old but it works! I ordered it from QVC. Can you believe that and it is several years old.

@becsbuddy I figure anything is better than nothing. If you have a homemade mask and one of the "good" ones, you can put the homemade over it. Lengthen the lifespan of real one, and look fashionable at the same time. C'mon, you know there are people who want to look stylish while being in compliance to social isolation. The ones I make have a wide variety of fabric choices, but all are 100% heavy quilting cotton ;))
