Most quilters have huge stashes of fabric. How much do you need?

You can make about 25 masks with one yard of fabric. If you don’t need too much I’ll share

You can buy a fitted sheet. It fives you fabric and elastic all in one. Joanns is open for curbside pickup too.

@newish never thought of the elastic in the fitted sheets. Thanks for that idea.

Joanne fabrics does curbside pickup. Usually takes 2-3 days for the online order to be ready. They wore masks and gloves (I ordered from Darien store at 75th and Lemont)

I have purchased fabric from Walmart, though it was early on when the selection was still pretty good, and have ordered from Joann, both to be shipped to me as well as curbside pickup. I have also read bedsheets and pillowcases work pretty well.

At Walmart, you can buy fat squares which are just the right size. You can also use old clothes.
