no sew mask

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.

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!

Found a no template hand sewn mask I’m going to try. I’m not sure about the fit but it’s worth a try. 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!

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.

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.

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.
