Dr. Hannibal Lecter: A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

I have spares 4 boxes of surgical mask. One in the car, 1 at my office, and 2 at home. Luckily I bought it last year because it was actually intended to be used when doing wood work at my garage.

But lately I feel like wearing my DIY cloth masks. I made some, added with a thin layer of sponge in beetween 2 outer layers so it have better shape when wearing it.

I make my own masks using one of the following N-95 comparable inter-facings recommended by The Fabric Patch: Face Masks for Covid-19 Relief

Recommended Non-Woven Interfacings*
• 910 Sew-in Featherweight by Pellon
• 911FF Fusible Featherweight by Pellon
• 930 Sew-in Mid-weight by Pellon
• 931TD Fusible Mid-weight by Pellon
• 880F Sof-Shape by Pellon
• 950F Shir-Tailor by Pellon
• 830 Easy Pattern by Pellon
• 380 Soft -N- Stay by Pellon
• 810 Tru-Grid by Pellon
• 808 Craft-Fuse by Pellon
•Oly-Fun by Fairfield**

If you don’t see it here it either did not work for us or we did not try it. If the packaging says “non-woven” and it is
permanent it should work.

*N-95 Comparable: The listed inter-facings are as close to N-95 as you can possibly get. When you pour a little water on the interfacing, it should bead up and not soak through. If it soaks through and doesn't bead up, it's not N-95 Comparable.

**If you decide to order Oly-Fun by Fairfield, be advised that there are several versions of it; be sure you get the non-woven version. I ordered mine from Amazon.com and have ten yards of Oly-Fun by Fairfield that is not comparable to N-95. I'll be able to use it for other projects, but not for masks!

And I was 7

I was 21 barely

I was nearly 15 and had a moon wall chart in my bedroom so I could study area names. Couldn't for the life of me get out of pronouncing Copernicus as 'Copper-nickers'
