Now that we are being advised to wear at least home made masks. It looks like we will be making our own. There are many good sites for designs. HERE is one.

However, what I found interesting was THIS site, that talks about what materials are best and their relative effectiveness. Bottom line for protection and breath-ability it looks like 100% Cotton T-Shirts or Pillow Cases. Doubled is best.

If you can shine a light through the fabric, it is not a great candidate for a mask. Higher thread count cotton or other fabrics that are tightly woven are the better choices. Some are using the filters from Hepa sweeper bags too.
