I get a bit nervous dispensing mask advice because I don't want to discourage anyone from making them. Any cloth covering is better than nothing & protects others from your germs.
If you want to protect yourself to greater extent, use a filter: https://www.businessinsider.com/homemade-mask-using-hydro-knit-shop-towel-filters-better-2020-4

This is the pattern I use. Cut it bigger than indicated.
I've had decent luck obtaining polypropylene in 2 forms. Pellon 360 tear away interfacing and oly*fun craft paper/ cloth.
I encourage you to:
*try out a few different patterns
*find your groove
*Get your kids involved
*Use cute fabric (this makes sewing more fun for me)
*ask for supply donations (so you don't break the bank & those who don't sew can share the joy of helping)
*Share generosity!

I haven't experimented with that method as I didn't have vacuum bags at my house. I'd love to hear if that worked well for you.
