Yep~another face mask! Nope~that's not a typo! It literally took me 36 minutes, from first stitch to last to whip this up for a friend <3 Of course, I made sure to have a pocket, for the disposable filters, but you can also make it with just one layer, for a mask cover, if you prefer... Follow me for the free pattern~ |

Many people have asked what to use for filters in these masks...I have been told that coffee filters, cut to fit, or blue shop towels (the kind that come on a roll, like regular paper towels) work wonderfully! Also, keep in mind~These masks are NOT medical grade, and will NOT stop the virus! Be sure to properly dispose of your filters after each use, and throw your masks in the wash after each use! It would be best NOT to use wool, as it is recommended to wash them in hot water ;)
