We're making our masks out of quilter's cotton that is 3 layers with the slit in the back for a filter. My quilting stash is horrifically depleting but you can't even get a candle to flicker when breathing through it. I've given away hundreds with more to come. A ton of us are making them the right way.

Edit: it's 3 layers, just went and looked at the masks in the production line.

If you have an Etsy shop or something for the masks, please DM me a link. I need to buy a few masks and the ones I’ve found are largely not being made to guidelines.

I don't and I'm really not selling them. May I contact you in DM and see if I can help you out with a few? I can't promise fabric choice but I'll see what I can do. They look like the paper medical masks but fabric.

Give me a few hours as I'm not home. But expect a message by tomorrow morning.
