After making over 120 masks...
My husband requested I create some custom fabric & masks for he and his partners.
It is actually far easier than I would have thought...
On line I found the company:
SPOONFLOWER.COM
Once you sign up... they talk you through the whole process!
I started with our cardiology practice logo.
I played around a bit with layout...
Finally, we made a decision and placed I my order.
It took several weeks for delivery.
Here is what screen looked like:
Logo entered:
eventual design created:
By the time my fabric arrived,
I had tried out so many different patterns
and varied filter options...
that I had my favorites.
I decided the in-the-hoop by Creative Appliques lays best over the N95 required within our hospital.
It can be found at:

I used a 50% off coupon and purchased 15 yard bolt of Pellon 30 stabilizer from JoAnns for $20!

And 30 masks later...
BEFORE YOU DO ANY SEWING-
THE PATTERN MUST BE PRINTED AND YOU MUST CREATE A BOARD TO PRESS AND CREASE FABRICS BEFORE PLACING IN HOOP! THIS & CUTTING IS THE MOST TIME CONSUMING PART.

First step gives you the outline to follow for the rest!
back of mask top is first piece
Stitches will eventually be entry for nose bridge
Carefully lining up PRESSED SEAMS... overlapping, and using painters tape makes it easy peasy!
You can see seams are now fixed in place by stitchwork.
Next, you tape prepared side pieces in place
Once those are stitched in place...
you apply the front of mask face down
And then flip all and attach straps through sides and stitch in center to hold
