They can be washed in hot soapy water and a hot iron used to kill any germs (hopefully)

I've used up lots of fat quarter scraps, I knew they come in handy one day!
what's a fat quarter scrap?

The opposite of a thin quarter scrap!

No, it's a quarter of a metre for patchwork.
You can get super ones in bundles in Aldi (just in case you get the urge to do a bit of quilting LD)

These are some masks she has made. I don't know what the hieroglyphics mean. Maybe people will try to read the expression on my face.

[QUOTE=Longdogs;1902546]Thanks TessA.





Fabric!

I'm thinking of making masks with big lips or vampire teeth on them, just to be different.

The New York Times has quite an easy pattern for a cloth face mask.

Re: Coronavirus: How to make your own face mask

Hi

I have 100, proper ones, surgical that is.

I had FPP3 masks, given them to the NHS.

I still have my full Hazmat Suits, but they are in the storage unit.

You look like an alien wearing them.
