Along with five plain elastic masks I customized this pair with pocketing for one pal:
For the pocket I did a lengthwise split along the inside center, which should allow the most room for filtering materials.
These are tie-on masks (my first, too) made of cotton chambray for a pal's doctor husband, who is working on the front lines in the city. These will be for when he's not working. Chambray is a little denser than my quilting cottons, and the denim look of it should go with anything:
For the ties I cut 1" X 17" strips of broadcloth, ran them through my bias tape maker, and then folded the two folds over and sewed a single row of stitching down the center.
I was also finally able to order some 1/4" white elastic from an Etsy seller, which should arrive by the end of the week.

You're a good person, Charlie Brown ;) They are awesome! Hubs has to wear the 'made by your fellow GM employee' masks at work, not allowed to wear anything else. Thing 1 gave me a couple N95 masks out of her stash because of my lung issue, but I'm wearing a cloth mask over that to make it last longer.
I'm so excited (and relieved).
The order I placed at Amazon has now been delayed another month. Expected delivery late July. :(
Thank you so much! You're a true friend.
