Face Mask Tutorials
Below are 2 patterns; one using elastic which is getting difficult to find and would break down if sterilized in an autoclave. The other is made with ties. Either kind can be washed using hot water which is what many facilities will be doing.
Regardless of which pattern you are using, a nurse friend has told me that every mask needs a non-woven layer included so non-woven interfacing should be included between the layers of fabric.
Here's a link to the masks that Dartmouth-Hitchcock is requesting and drop off/mailing locations. These use elastic to hold them on.

Here's a mask that has strings to tie. Dartmouth-Hitchcock would take these as well.
