I carefully designed this mask for maximum comfort and efficacy. I want it to be super comfortable and breathable so you'll love wearing it and being safe! 
 
Three ultra-breathable layers include an inner layer of non-woven polypropylene (the kind of material surgical masks are made from) which is made of layers of interlaced fibers which make it difficult for microscopic particles to get through. 
 
Gaps around the edge are eliminated with a nosewire and ties, so that all air is forced through the filter. I also gave a smidge extra roundness to the front seam for free movement of the mouth. Packaged in pastry bags so you know no one's touched your mask since it was sewn. 
 
Lastly, these masks are really cute! I pre-washed our linen/cotton fabric and tied  beads to the ends of the ties. 
 
Of course, these masks are not a replacement for medical PPE. The CDC recommends social distancing in addition to wearing a cloth mask.
