Given all the uncertainty swirling about COVID-19 , there's a lot of desire to help. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say staying home, washing your hands and practicing social distancing are some of the best things to do at this time, they're also encouraging everyone wear a cloth face cover when out in public.
With the current shortage of medical-grade face masks , this means many may choose to make their own. The upside: you don't need advanced sewing skills — actually, you don't need any sewing skills — to make a homemade face mask. And with both no-sew options and quick-stitch patterns at your disposal, it's easy to create masks for yourself, family and friends. (We totally encourage using fabric with an ultra-fun pattern on it.)
While homemade face masks are not medical-grade and are not in any way a substitute for N95 or surgical masks, they could potentially discourage touching your face and signal that you're trying to protect yourself and others. So whether you're pulling out spare fabric and stitching on your machine, or simply folding up some fabric with hair ties, these face mask tutorials https://bit.ly/2XaEqfM can help walk you through the process.
