Does your  fabric work ?  

A simple way to check if your fabric works or not is by being able to breathe if you hold it over your mouth and you shouldn't be able to see through the fabric.

Instructions

Step 1. Cut two cotton rectangle and stitch them together, 9 inch wide and 12 inch long

Step 2. Cut two 7 inch long pieces of elastic

Step 3. Fold fabric in half

Step 4. Pin and sew 1/4th inch seam from the edge leaving a 2 inch gap in the center.

Step 5. Put elastic ban on each corner(inside the material) and pin to keep in place.

Step 6. Mark locations for pleats and add pins on both sides.

Step 7. Fold three pleats and sew around the entire perimeter of the mask.

Finally remove the pins and you can now wear your mask.
Even better make a bunch so you can distribute them if there are any shortages in the market.
