Corona: Sew your own fabric mask

Masks are currently compulsory. For our own protection, but also for the protection of others. At the moment, however, we often have to resort to a makeshift variant, a fabric mask. But where can you buy them? We present some stores.

Sew your own fabric mask

A face mask is a sought-after commodity these days - however, surgical masks and FFP masks are often sold out or are sometimes overpriced. This is why many people reach for their sewing machine and sew themselves a fabric mask. Self-sewn makeshift masks do not offer total protection against infection. Nevertheless, you are at least a little safer from flying droplets. Nevertheless, keep your distance!

You can buy fabric masks here

But not everyone has a sewing machine at home. There's only one thing to do: buy fabric masks to protect yourself as best you can against the virus. Our tips:

  • The manufacturer Zofino sells fabric masks, for example with stars, in plain gray or black for around 15 euros each.
  • Keep your eyes open - many small tailors or alteration tailors are now also sewing fabric masks in your area.
  • On ebay, fabric masks cost between five and 20 euros.
  • Do you want it fashionable? MaisonCommon offers self-sewn masks for around 40 euros. The fashion brand Peter Kaiser is also involved and makes fabric masks for around 30 euros.
  • Fabric masks are much cheaper at Shop greatr - the company is normally active in the catering sector, but they produce fabric masks for around 9 euros.
  • Fabric masks are also available on Amazon, for example from Redmoo.
  • If you prefer to wear a disposable mask, you can buy one here, for example.
