MASK INFORMATION:
Website address: judeandjoseph.bigcartel.com
I appreciate everyone's feedback! Thank you so much. It has made reaching a workable solution much easier. This is what I have decided will work for us:
1) I will have 20 slots open up on Sundays at noon EST. IF I have time for more, I will open them up later in the week. However, I want to make sure I have time to get other orders out too, and as I am sure you ALL know, having your kids home and crisis schooling at home is time consuming, so my workshop time is limited. I am going to run these slots through the website so that I can easily keep track of them and also so I am not spending a lot of time invoicing. Time is everything right now. Masks will be $10 for both kids and adults. Shipping is not included in this price. Please remember that kids under 2 years of age should NOT wear a mask, and that masks should be washed after every wear or hung outside for 48 hours.
2) I will also make available 2 pre-cut options for DIY kits for masks. You will receive everything you need to make your own masks at home - pre-cut material, elastic, and directions. You will need a sewing machine and thread. I will post a Sew-Along video on the page (www.facebook.com/groups/JudeAndJoseph) that you can access.
ALL of my masks are 3 layers of cotton, and have a pocket for a filter. This fulfills the CDC recommendations for permeability when used with a filter. I will also post a link to Wonderground fabrics for purchasing filters. Gabbi Kakarigi will have pre-orders open for 20 pack filters shortly. There is also another option for filters. I will post the research article for that information if you choose to purchase blue shop towels for filters instead of the ones Gabbi has available.
Again, thank you all for your conversation and feedback. Stay healthy, stay safe.
