Hello thank you very much for the greetings
I'm glad to hear that
order has worked out and the
Masks contribute to the
to confine the virus
Happy to be of service 🙂
Are there any specifications you would like? The idea is to have 3 layers with a pocket to put on a pocket tissue or Kleenex for extra filtering that can be changed out as needed.

I am glad that it is possible to order 10 cotton masks in Kenya and I hope that they will
choose a quality for me that is good.
Hey Gerlinde,
Do you want it in the African fabric (Ankara) or in plain fabric or do I do half plain fabric half African fabric?

Since the masks stay in Kenya it is certainly nicer if the masks are brought to an African
Patterns are or half and half would be ok.
Ok. I think we’re good to start. I have some navy blue fabric so half will be from African fabric and the rest from this other fabric.
