Posted off three masks today, two to DW users, one to my company's office manager. He goes into the office on a regular basis instead of working from home, since someone has to collect the mail, etc. It seems only fair to ensure that he gets at least some degree of extra protection. I used the Jesse Mask design although I didn't have head measurements for him; I stuck with a fairly average size that fits my own thick skull.

I'll be finishing up another mask for myself later today, I just haven't had the time to tuck the ends in and deal with sewing the ties into place. If I can find a better way of making and securing the pockets for the in-mask boning (to keep the inner layer from being sucked against the wearer's nose and mouth during inhalation) and nose bridge fitting strip (to seal the mask more closely against the face, minimizing air leakage and reducing eyeglass fog), I'll be happier; right now I'm making something similar to bias tape from sheet cotton scraps and the process takes longer than I like.

Let me know if you need one. We'll talk.
