This morning, I moved the bias tape with wire to the top. It works better that way. Made this mask for my daughter Claire's male friend. Does it look masculine enough?

Thank you for doing this!

I'm no tailor but with some advice from my mom, I made a few of the rectangular ones for my son. I don't have wire/pipe cleaners, so I put one pleat long ways (ear to ear). I then put two little "v" pleats (maybe a quarter inch) with the folds going towards the nose and only on the top side.
This seemed to help pull the top down from his eyes and it appeared to fit more snug on the top side.

Let me know if it helps.

I want to buy a plague doctor mask and wear a mask under it. I haven't done it for two reasons: 1) it will freak people out and I might get assaulted in my small republican town, and 2) they're too expensive to make a the point that the idiot-in-chief is going to kill us all with his incompetence.

There are people in DC in need of this.

Requests for homemade medical masks are pouring in.

Just spent two hours tearing apart, shortening the elastic, and resewing a mask I made for a man. He has small ears.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Brilliant idea. great contribution to others too.

Glad to see that you're bringing up this concern here. Hopefully we fellow heathens can help you to the best of our ability!

I am simply wrapping a silk scarf around my face ... works pretty well

Ooooh, and color coordinated too -

You can cut thin strips from tin cans using strong scissors, rub them on sand paper to smooth the sharp edges, ( very important ) and use those as soft bendable metal strips for sowing in seams.
