Hi Rhonda.
I’m glad you and your hubby are staying in. We are staying in also and my step daughter picked up our groceries today. It was so nice of her.
I try to use batik or a quilt shop cotton since it is woven tighter. Usually I use Guterman poly thread since that is what I have on hand all the time. The pattern I’ve been using is from the Button Counters website. It’s the one that Cleveland Clinic has requested so I’ve been doing some for them. It’s a pleated pattern. When I do them for my family I’ve used a layer of featherweight interfacing on one half of the mask so I have 3 layers total and I sew a small dart in the top and bottom centered when I am all done so it fits at the nose and chin a little better, maybe 1/4” in and 3/4” down. That way you can tell which side goes towards your face so you don’t put it on backwards when it could be contaminated. Saw
that on Suzy Quilts website.
Anyway I will be checking to see what the other girls on here are doing and what little hints they are using.
Take care of yourself
