My Mom has been making them like crazy for some of the Grandkids that are in the medical field and must wear them.
She’s made a few for us, but she’s not using very ‘breathable’ fabric, so they’re pretty uncomfortable to wear other than for a very short time frame. :(
“she’s not using very ‘breathable’ fabric”
I’ve modified my patterns since I started. Used to use the high-count quilting fabric as suggested. And most patterns require at least two, and sometimes three layers. The last/inside layer had a slit to add still ONE MORE layer — a filter. Well, I decided Homey don’t play that, ‘cause Homey can’t BREATHE. One layer. Loose fabric.
I have to wear one for 50 minutes twice a week at physical therapy, and it’s so loose horseflies basically could get through. Hubby volunteers once a week and has to wear one for five hours; his also are breathable.
I’d like to order a couple with messages from Redbubble, but don’t want to give mask companies financial support — although some are great! (Sadly, some contain minor profanity which adults could handle, but probably not kids in case you came across one of them.)
Looking for some advice from crafting people, help.
I’m getting ready to process my fleece from 13 alpacas. What’s a good weight? Sport?worsted?
Blends? Etc.
