gardenmom5 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I don't know if they was shared elsewhere, but it came over my feed from my state's emergency management agency. it uses a coffee filter to actually filter. since they're food grade, they should be safe to have against your mouth. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I was not able to find any tighter cotton material, so I ordered a set of pillowcases that should arrive tomorrow. I like the coffee filter idea! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much rather be hand sewing while working with the kids on the couch than trying to thread my vintage child size sewing machine I dug out of the garage. Lol. That looks like a bra cup! It's so pretty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Some people find coffee filter too hard to breathe through. Others seem to like a cone shape coffee filter to keep fabric of mask away from mouth and nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I did the bandana with coffee filter and hair ties to go shopping. I got a good fit that didn't slip for the whole trip. I added safety pins by the hair ties. We have some pleated masks now but the bandana seemed good in a pinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachermom2834 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think the bandanna idea works well and is easy. My 12 yo dd is the only one who sews here and she made a few masks but got tired of it. I also tried the one with the t-shirt cut out and that didn't work as well.
