After making about 100 masks, I moved toward a simpler design. The mask is rectangular with no pleats. It includes a pipe cleaner at the top to shape the mask to the nose. It has a casing on either side. I make a drawstring by cutting a one inch strip across a man's t-shirt (these have no side seams) and make a cord by pulling it tight. I run the drawstring down one side and then up the other. To put it on, one puts the loop over the head, tightens up the drawstring and then ties it at the back of the head. It's very comfortable and easy to launder.
I've given dozens to neighbors. At least 30 were given to nurses at local hospitals to cover the medical masks that needed to be used longer than they were designed for.
About a dozen were given to a friend who is a realtor, who gives them to clients without on
