George Abira thoughtfully crafted 10 comfortable and protective cotton face masks for Tanja, blending safety with care and emphasizing personal well-being. What's your wish?
A request by Tanja from Berlin, Germany
Hey, following the COVID-19 pandemic, I would love to have 10 face masks made. I understand that homemade masks don’t offer 100% protection but there are some guidelines provided by health experts to make them safe
1. must be 100% cotton
2. Use 2 to 3 layers
3. Insert a pocket for a filter
4. Add a wire on the side seams to ensure the mask is compact
5. Use an elastic as side strands.
6. The fabric should be washable.
Kindly if you’re aware of other protective regulations follow them as you make the masks
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hallo Tanja am happy to provide any offer for your idea, ..have attached the pic of the fabric
Hi George,
Thanks for your mail.
I am somewhat indifferent to the colour but i guess for a mask it would be useful if it was some kind of "breathable", natural, non-sweaty fabric. Do you think thats the case with that one?
Thanks.
Tanja
Yeah it's cotton so it's breathable ,and very accommodative
sounds good. so lets take that one.
