I have many sewing and quilting friends and some had started making masks. I found many patterns, uTubes and hints online but they were quite different from each other.
My younger daughter is a clinical pharmacist. The Director of the Pharmacy in the hospital where she works was sewing masks “just in case” and gave Sarah the pattern to forward to me.
The pharmacy had special requests. The outside of the masks had to be made of polyester material and the inside was cotton.
Most of the patterns online use only cotton, one piece folded over. Nurses voiced though that this might make it difficult to quickly identify (for sanitary reasons) which is the outside of a mask already in use.
Here is my version of the clinical pharmacy pattern (PDF to print at the bottom).
My pattern as always shows how to do it step by step but also a version to include a wire in the middle like in this one.
And here are the 33 for Sarah's place ... until I ran out of polyester.
Here is the PDF for you to download.
