Description
The cloth face coverings recommended by the CDC are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.
Wash after each use. Hand wash with mild soap (in the sink like washing your hands), rinse well, reshape and dry flat or hang to dry.
Too big: tie a knot in the band
Too little: cut the band and add shoelace type ties
I make all kinds of quilted textiles, bed quilts and wall quilts in traditional and contemporary styles. All are one of kind creations whether I use hand sewing skills or a home sew machine. My reversible and reusable cloth face masks are available at all of the SHCG Shops.

US USI like it a lot; I only wish there was a pocket to insert a filter. But it's fine as it is for situations where I won't be around a lot of people and I really appreciate that it's hand made by an artisan. I've recommended it to friends.
United StatesSturdy, comfy, and they fit well. The design allows me to slip the mask off temporarily and have it hang loose around my neck and then slip it back on. The wire allows me to shape it snugly across my nose.
United StatesWe purchased 3 masks when we were at the Folk Art Center last weekend. All 3 are well made with reversible decorative patterns.The 2 designed by Connie Brown fit both my husband’s and my face, the other one was much too large for me, and had to be altered to accommodate my husband’s face. The Connie Brown masks are by far the most comfortable that I have found, I highly recommend them.
