Lo these many years ago, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
jesse_the_k recommended [locked] some N95 masks to filter out fragrances, and then in 2012 when I needed to fly on an airplane I actually bought a box of 20. I didn't end up liking them much, so I had only used a couple of them.
( donating masks )
I'm looking at making fabric masks from a torn organic flannel sheet, maybe from this pattern. I saw a note in comments to make fabric ties instead of using elastic, because the virus can hide in the elastic crevices. I saw a note on another pattern to run a single longer tie through both sides of the mask so they run behind the head instead of uncomfortably pulling on the ears. Here's a video tutorial on sewing masks. ETA: And here's some research on good materials for masks.
