This one has a pocket to insert extra layer or removable filter

Handmade by 
Fiona Fernandez at By Fi Handcrafts

This is not a surgical mask for PPE

I have added a Nose Wire pocket to remove the wire when needed.

Materials used: Cotton Quilting Fabrics, Non-Woven polyester iron on interfacing, Poly/Cotton thread.
Nose wire: Chenille Sticks - Polyester/Metal; Elastic/hair elastics* may vary due to supplies available
Hand wash in cold water if leaving the nose wire in.
Or take the wire out and cold machine wash in a wash bag.

To order, send me an email to byfihandcrafts@gmail.com
or message in any of my social media links.
Payment by direct deposit - details emailed with order confirmation.
$15 each.
