> 3 dayWhile looking for sew in interfacing to make masks, I had a hard time finding the recommended brands and decided to give this a try. I made two patterns- the standard pleated square and the Olson mask, opting for the second since it has a pocket (in case this didnt work out). I washed the interfacing by hand to see if it could even hold up to water, then cut it, basted it, and made my masks. They turned out stiffer than those Id initially made with fusible interfacing, but felt like they filtered the air better- Id say slightly more than a standard dust mask (bear in mind this is all subjective). On the pleated masks this added quite a bit more bulk to the pleats, so going slow is important (or use your walking foot if you have it). After they were made and used I hand washed them in hot water (about 140°F) and disinfectant and hung them to dry. The masks felt just as sturdy and stable as they did pre-wash, though they did need a quick press. As for whether these are suitable for hospitals, Im unsure, as I currently make masks for friends and family. In terms of allergens, Im a rather allergic person (hah) and had no trouble with this material. Your mileage may vary, however. At minimum its probably best to make sure to encase the interfacing between two layers of fabric. I plan to keep making masks, and Im so glad I found this material. Edit: meant to say, I also basted this in to the face pattern pieces of the Olson mask, so as not to worry about adding filters, and it worked wonders. Be sure to trim the corners before turning!
