ROUND 3: Craftalongs Challenge - Lettuce Help Our Communities CLOSED

Title: Floral & Sheet Masks
Masks for: Friends & Family - 8 Masks
Pattern Link to Share: https://www.craftpassion.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/#face-mask-pattern (Same one Roler used; I did modify it by adding a cotton jersey nose strip across the top to hold a removable nose wire)

While I didn’t get pictures of all the ones I made, in the end there were 8: 2 large all purple ones each for my Dad and Boyfriend and 2 small floral and purple ones each for me and my Mom. In the end, though, I mailed one of the ones for myself to my Great-Aunt in CA, since one of the staff at her retirement home was diagnosed with COVID and she was only using a thin hanky over her face! I think the next batch I make I will use the pattern made by @Magpie, as I agree that this pattern is too flat at the bottom edge and does not cup the chin well enough for long-term wear.

Following the best info I could find about filtration materials, the outside of these is quilting cotton (floral) and a very tightly woven cotton blend bed sheet (purple) with an inner layer of non-woven grocery bag (the reusable kind you get at promo events; washed well!). I also left an opening at the sides for additional filters to be slipped inside.
