How to sew a face covering
When making masks we recommend that you consider using paperclips or material clips to hold the fabric in place while you sew, every time a pin or needle is inserted into fabric it creates a hole and the idea of a mask is to filter the air so the more closely woven and less holes the better.
Before you start to make masks, ensure to ask the user if they want elastic or not, if the want nose wire or not as some workplaces have specific requirements.
