With coronavirus on the rampage, governments starting to require face coverings in public, and mayhem in the supply chain for commercially-made facemasks, it seems that making masks at home has become quite the popular thing to do. Are any of you DIY kiltmakers doing it? Are you interested in doing it for fellow XMarkers? A lot of online communities have started sharing resources and helping each other with masks, and I'm sort of surprised I haven't seen something like that here. I don't know how this would work within the rules of this forum - perhaps Steve could guide us on that.

I have purchased a few masks from various places online. Some of them leave a lot to be desired in terms of fit, function, and style. There are a lot of DIY mask patterns online, some of which are more shaped to the human face than others. I have some ideas on what I, personally, would like in a custom facemask based on one of these patterns, using custom material (perhaps even wool tartan or tattersall). I even have big boxes full of tartan scraps. But I don't have the wherewithal to make one at home.

I've been working from home for the last month, but my boss is making noises about bringing me back to the office. I am going to need quite a few masks so that I can change them out periodically during the day, and have several days worth of masks so I don't have to wash them every night.

So ...any sewing aficionados here willing to take on masks?
