Excellent.  Do you have a selfie of the finished product?

Thinking up useful activities for self-isolation, yesterday I downloaded a flu face mask pattern from the internet, and got out my 50+ years old sewing machine.  I used a new tea towel as fabric for the outer layer (a dense material including denim will do), and managed to find various scraps for lining, elastic etc in the old sewing box.  The prototype looks pretty good.  I have another tea towel with Scarlet Robins on it, so that will be the next productions. 

 

Cheers

Link to the pattern which has video on how to make.  I made my pattern slightly larger, about 5-7 mm.  This pattern has a pocket for a P2 filter which I don’t have, so I cannibalised a (new) soft P2 mask I had for the bushfire smoke.  From what Ive read, double fabric/felt type material as insert could do the job.
