=== Ability to obtain materials === Even on a good day, non-woven polypropylene is not something you find at your average fabric store. The sort of materials we're most likely to have on hand include: ==== Body materials ==== * quilting cotton * denim * canvas (e.g., duck canvas) ==== Nosepiece ==== * floral wire * pipe cleaner (might be hard to get in bulk) * paper clip, straightened ==== Earpieces ==== * string or twine * ribbon * lengths of scrap fabric, turned into a tiny sleeve of appropriate length * elastics ==== Other materials and equipment ==== * cotton or polyester thread * sewing machines * wire cutters for floral wire (note: beware of sharp points; you may need to fold them over with needle-nose pliers) We're hampered by the shelter-in-place orders: most fabric stores are probably not open. Delivery may be an option, and Cliff's Variety in the Castro (which is also a hardware store, and thereby “essential” under at least the City's order) is still open. So we're limited to whatever supplies we've got on hand. This requirement also means using ''materials'' rather than off-the-shelf ''finished parts'' such as commercial filter cartridges. You can buy cotton fabric from lots of places (even if ''we'' can't), but the WidgetDyne 9003A (not to be confused with the 9003B, which is incompatible) could become scarce quickly.
