Yeah I actually gave a TON of supplies to my sister-in-law who is making some for the hospital. I soon realized after making just ONE that I had little patience for making these. Although, I probably wouldn’t be as frustrated had I just used my sewing machine… But it’s messed up now and I didn’t want to deal with figuring that out! I guess I’ll make one more for my partner but that is it. Lol. I did my part by giving my SIL half my stash of fabric and all my bias tape. 
I made one adjustment to the pattern by just making one long strip of elastic go all the way through the sides so it goes around my head instead of my ears because my ears are sensitive. I reccomend this method. It’s much more comfortable.
Gotta make my face mask match my clothes, amiright?

Your elastic idea is great. I don’t have that much in my stash though and can’t find any to order online at this time (all our fabric/quilting stores are closed by government order) If we have to wear these for awhile, I’ll be trying to find elastic and use your method.

I also threaded elastic all the way through and made a knot…I told each person to adjust the knot to how they like it…I made sure to use extra elastic to make sure even the largest head could be fitted.
My sister had the elastic go around her ears…instead of redoing them, we just took another piece and tied it from one ear to the other…it pulled the elastic back far enough to make it comfortable around her head…I liked that idea a lot as well.
That technique works with a piece of cord as well, only needs to be tied in one place. Or just sew a long piece of bias tape for ties rather than making the bias bit a channel for another cord. Easier.

I didn’t want anything tied around my head, that’s why I liked this idea.

I’m making masks for my family. There are a lot of us and I’m making multiples for everyone coz some of us still need to spend time in public. These are for my 13 yo. I’m wanting him to get outside from time to time (at the park or something, away from ppl, of course) and the masks make me feel better about it. He should always have at least one clean one, since I made him 3. His fave is the planet one, the fabric for which I think I actually got from someone on C-ster back in the day.

These are for my oldest. He is still working, at Home Depot. I ran out of regular elastic, and started using hair ties. They work pretty well! Again, I think some of these fabrics came from some of you fine people!

I made 3 of the same pattern above and added a pocket for nose wire and space for additional layers of filtering.
Modelled by my messy sewing table
I ran out of regular elastic so used some fold over in a bright green…

I found the bird on one of the home decor samples I have in my stash and couldn’t resist… B requested jewel tones if I had any.
And a close up of the bird
