If we’re going to have to wear facemasks, let’s wear attractive and comfortable ones. I felt a need to make something that lets people reflect their personalities, as well as being comfortable and practical.

The starting point is my collection of oddments of soft, close-woven cotton, which I’ve collected over the years. I've a wide range of patterns, which are both quirky and stylish. As I’ve only got enough of each material to make a few masks, they’re also very individual. You can buy them on my eBay page.

I use these to sew pleated, two-sided masks which fit comfortably.

Not everyone’s head is the same size, and a lot of us are growing more hair than usual, so I’ve designed them so that you can adjust the soft elastic in a variety of different ways. You can arrange it to fit behind your ears, behind your head, or crossed over, whichever is the most comfortable.

To make sure it’s a good fit around your nose, they’ve all got an internal nose-wire which you can adjust. It’s made from PVC coated, tinned copper wire, so it won’t rust. It's folded over and covered with heat-shrink sleeving at the ends to make sure there’s nothing sharp and that it won’t damage the fabric. It can also stay in while you wash the mask.

If you want extra layers, there’s a pocket in each mask where you can add an additional filter.

I’ve got lots of different fabrics, but as I've only enough to make a few of each, they do sell out quickly. To see what’s available, have a look at my eBay items at https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/chrishunn/m.html.
