[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't use a filter. I use cotton woven fabric, but I'm going to try a cotton knit just to see what it is like. I cut two rectangles of 9" x 6". I use 7" strips of elastic. I pin the elastic into the corners (and between the two pieces of fabric) before I sew them together. I sew them with right sides together and leave a little unsewn space to flip them right side out. Then I add pleats down the side and sew down the short sides twice. I know this may not be popular, but the best fabric is mens boxer shorts! Washed, of course. The fabric is cotton, but it's thinner than some cotton fabrics. Ends up being very comfortable for a mask.[/quote] Two thin pieces of fabric is a mask just for show and completely useless. You need interfacing as a filter. [/quote] Actually your filter is useless. These are not occlusive airtight masks. Air is going in the all sides of the mask. [/quote]
