My friend from BC asked me to make her and her husband a few masks because they are not allowed in some stores without them.
I made myself a couple while I was making masks for them.
There are a lot of different face mask patterns on the web. I wanted the masks to have the option for a filter, to be comfortable and to have the wire for the nose.

The first masks I made were from Jennifer Maker. I liked how they were "form fitting" and met all the requirements I was looking for in a mask. I did not cut my material out with the Cricut but printed the pattern and cut about 6 layers of fabric at once.
The second set I made were from MMB by Hand. I made a slight modification to her design and made the interior layer out of t-shirt material.
In each of the mask types, I used left over cotton fabric I had in my stash, the t-shirt fabric is from a t-shirt I decluttered from my closet and the nose wire was floral wire and pipe cleaners. Remember to round the wires at the end so they don't poke through the fabric. I didn't do that with the pipe cleaners and I should have.
I hope that you are able to take this time for yourself and do something you enjoy.
