I've made 20 so far and am slowly getting better with my stitching techniques.
They certainly won't win any fashion awards though!

How effective really are these homemade masks? Browsing through the Amazon or Home Depot websites, I see all kinds of inexpensive face masks, including some with multiple layers of cloth or replaceable carbon filters, or valves to make breathing easier. Are these worth buying or are the masks made from folded bandanas or T-shirts just as good?

Thank you for the links... I appreciate instructions that do not require the elastic.

Here is another pattern from a company in SF that uses cord rather than elastic.

Why not buy cheep ones on amazon?
These cheep Goods are the reason why we are at this miserable state.
Otherwise we would have our own manufactures making everything essential for us , and in USA standards.
