"Pretty easy for a newbie like me! Mine turned out a little tubbier, and I chose to leave out the mouth because I liked it better that way. My biggest complaint would be that the instructions didn't really clarify how I was meant to sew the ends together. I also personally forgot the leave a stuffing hole so that was on me."

"These are super simple and oh, sew, cute! I made them reversible so they can be turned over after Christmas and used throughout the winter."

"I've just discovered the same issue with this link. I wish they would at least remove the link. Very disappointed indeed ... I do love the idea of the dress though. It's given me an idea for making a dress similar to this one. I thought I'd find a simple top that I already own and am comfortable wearing, then make a band at a similar length to the top of this dress. I'll then make the skirt by gathering some fabric to the fullness I'm comfortable with, and making it the length I want, then attach the top to the skirt at the band .... I'm sure that it would be easy enough to attach the top to the waist of the skirt .... similar to this pattern. .... voila, I'll have a new dress! For those who love the pattern as much as I do, it's at least worth a try! )"

Notes: In settings where professional/medical-grade face masks are not available, the general public is encouraged to wear face coverings: "The CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) especially in areas of significant community-based transmission."

I love this mask! I have to say though it isn't 1 size fits all. I recommend having 2 or 3 layers.

@woodemily7772011 0 784381 how do you know that this mask will not protect you from COVID-19 It certainly looked like it followed all guidelines and if you are simply saying you got COVID while wearing it the mask is not to blame. You are right in the fact that this mask won't protect you from the Corona-virus, no mask does they simply reduce your chances. It isn't up to you to decide if this mask protects you!

I think that the point of any face mask is NOT to protect the wearer from catching a virus but to protect others from catching a virus from the wearer..... just saying.
