I began walking again, to counteract the shelter in place order in our state. We can walk our pets, do any essential things and such but nothing else. So, while I can keep my brain sane with crafts, I have to keep my body as fit as I can get it, plus get some fresh air.
When I have seen bandannas made from fabric, no sewing involved (my machine is broken), I was looking for something to use in my plethora of fabric. When I grabbed a piece, I didn't realize it was the bottom of a shirt I cut off and just threw on the pile. Then inspiration hit me.
Would it work for a mask just for around here? I put it on like a cowl, wrapped around once. It was perfect. When it got a little loose, all I had to do was pull the other part down a bit, and it's tight again.
It covers my nose and mouth, as you can see. Since I am not sick, and want to keep it that way, this is the perfect solution for me. If it would work for you, I am happy to share.
Note: This is in no way meant to replace any medical supply/equipment. None of us are as safe as we want to be, but this has helped me and might help you.

very good!
My son cut off the bottom of some older t-shirts; made one cut down center and now wears this around his neck (like a scarf) and ties it over his mouth/nose anytime he feels it is necessary. Easy peasy and washable.
I found some scrapes of soft cotton material and just made strips - very good in a pinch (not for medical of course).
