My mother and I took more than two hours trying to sew a 3-layered mask from a 2-layer pattern.
We didn't finish.
Come 1 May, Cape Town is gonna have the largest number of fake niqabis the city has ever seen, thanks to modern women being klutzes at traditional skills.

IMPORTANT
Your mask is to protect OTHERS in case YOU are infected and you don't know it.
An infected person in an inferior mask (e.g. loose, single layer) places others at risk.
So if YOU want to be safe from others, you need to help THEM get access to good masks.

If you are sewing decent 3-layer masks for yourself, sew some for others and give them away for free. Encourage other people to do the same. To reduce the spread of the virus, we need to spread THIS idea virally.

Watch this video over and over so that you can help other people. In this, caring about the health of others means caring about yourself, and caring about your own health translates to caring about the health of others.
To a lesser extent, your mask also protects you against other people's droplets, but that's not its primary purpose. What protects you most is THEIR masks.
