I've made just over 800 masks so far - started last March for family & friends, then sent masks to the Navajo Nation and then making them with a group of other sewers in our neighborhood for everyone in our community who requested one through our Buy Nothing Group. The sewing group made over 2500 masks total & 95 Isolation Gowns for workers with a local non-profit that assists developmentally disabled adults in the community (they lost a worker to covid and could not get disposable gowns at the time). Lately, I've been busy with kids masks for back to school. I think it helps it to be more fun for the kids if they have fun fabric masks to choose from. Last month I made 350 My Little Pony masks for a local MLP convention. They were a big hit. I agree that N95s are better than fabric but I always put an N95 filter in my mask to improve performance (they are all sewn with a pocket for the filter).
