I made up quite a few - no idea how many, just as people asked for them I made more. No idea the name of it, but it was the style my niece preferred - and since she is an emergency room RN it was the pattern I used. Now that it looks like we will be needing them for a lot longer I broke down and ordered the Accuquilt die. In the beginning my daughter cut them out for me - so all I had to do was sew and iron. i am hoping the die will make it a bit easier for me. I had ordered elastic on eBay - ended up with almost 400 yards so shared it with a lot of other mask makers. My family likes the 1/8th inch elastic and it goes around the head instead of just the ears, so much easier and you can pull it down easier when not needed, and not leave it somewhere. It takes about 28 inches of elastic - but so much more comfortable. Then when other see them, they ask for some - and I can't say no. But taking the month of July off and will make more in August.
