Another possibility for mask making materials as we need to use what we have on
hand and avoid shopping.

Informative Laurie. Thank you for posting.
Elastic is sold out. Using Strings for tying are better than no method of
keeping your mask on. —wash hands afterward. —
I used the ordinary HVAC filter after carefully removing any system that
holds the pleats in place. These filters come in many dimensions but many of
us have an extra around. If there is a small hole from removing the pleats
just double or triple fold the filter as it is thin. Make your mask with a
pocket and slip the filter inside ( more effective than a coffee filter as
they are Constructed to filter microscopic particles)

Dear Friends,
I don't know how many people on this list sew but thought I'd share this
how-to video made by an Emergency Medicine doctor. (I found it on the
Maryland Responds website.)
Here's the step-by-step video:
