camwynThe blue and green and sea glass print fabrics I ordered arrived and have been pre-washed. I also got a green fabric with snowflake print on it.
I am almost certainly out of Spiderman fabric. I think I have some Minecraft fabric and possibly some Darth Vader fabric left. Not sure, I'd have to check. There may be musical note fabric left too. I think I used up all the rainbow puzzle piece fabric already, though.
Blue cotton thread, yes. Green thread... I think I have green cotton. I know I have green polyester. Also I have white polyester thread. And other colors but I do at least try to match when I can.
Plenty of 600 thread count left. More in the light teal than white stripe but I have that.
Got most of the roll of Oly Fun polypropylene for inner layers still left. It was a three yard roll, I should be fine even having carved out material for two more masks than I intend to actually make.
Got some chiffon left if it's absolutely needed but I'm gonna be honest, I'd rather use the Oly Fun. It's not surgical grade but it's the same material they use for the blue layer in surgical masks and it's recommended by WHO, plus it's so much easier to cut and manipulate than chiffon.
Almost finished with my first pack of fusible interfacing but I have a second pack of the same kind that I haven't even opened yet so I'm good there.
Good amount of 1/4" elastic available for ear loops or elastic head ties or elastic bands across the back of the head (more comfortable than ear loops if one lives in a state where the governor has mandated mask use for longer periods than merely coming within sneezing distance of another human). Also got a bunch of old T-shirts from thredUP online thrift store that can be cut into nice soft elastic cotton ties for standard knot-behind-the-head ties as needed, bought those back when I was trying to learn to sew and didn't realize that knit cotton was one of the hardest materials to work on with a sewing machine, le sigh.
Long story short, I'll be ironing fabric today and starting in on people's masks for December.
