Calling all sewers - face masks

While lying awake and browsing Facebook, I came across a discussion in a babywearing group about whether baby wraps are a good fabric to use for homemade face masks (they’re not as the fabric is meant to be somewhat stretchy so it can mold around the child; you need a tight multi-layer fabric).

But that discussion brought up a Forbes article about homemade facial masks which included a link to a facemask pattern. I can’t sew, I can’t read patterns, but if you can, consider making as many as you can to protect yourself, your family, and to donate some to your local hospital. With supply shortages we will need them sooner than later...
