I’ve been testing mask styles to find masks my kids will be OK wearing. When we found a good style, I then made a week’s worth for each kid. I realized that I was still scrounging around for clean prototypes when I had to wear a mask! I finally carved out some time to make my favorite style, which happens to be the original pattern I made from a local hospital. I like this one because the pleats allow me to talk without the mask slipping down (the fitted styles do a hokey pokey down my chin when I talk). It has a nose wire (I prefer the lighter gauge wire because it is easier to reshape after the wash), and is the easiest style to iron or steam after washing. They also store flat nicely. Now I just need to come up with a mask rack system to free up the hooks for winter coats!
