Production has overrun demand of milk for a long time. So many companies are converting the milk to cheese. I believe that is the reason we see so many cheese and cheese ingredient fast food commercials on TV now.

But, YES bring on the cheese! I hope they do.

Which pattern are you using?
....

The round face ones like this-
https://www.masksoflove.org/citizen-mask-pattern.html

Though I've made several of the pleated ones, which are easier for beginners to sew, they don't fit as snugly and can be more irritating to someone not used to wearing a mask.

I made a few changes to the pattern above too....I use craft type of pipe cleaners (chenille sticks) cut to 6" for the bridge of the nose and I make fabric straps because elastic behind the ears doesn't feel too good for any length of time.

Fabric ties also allow for a better fit for more of a variety of face shapes like a long face, or a "fluffy" face. I have quilt batting and other materials for the inner pocket and the mask is all cotton and easy wash/dry.

ETA: I've made several of the rounded ones from different sites and each pattern is just a hair different in the height, or the curve, or the steps involved, and this one is the most comfortable we've found so far. I'm assuming it will be more comfortable for the recipients as well.

Thanks for the link.
I made ONE of the pleated ones and blech! The fit was horrible with all those pleats making gaps.
I did one like the one you linked. It was ok for fit but to much bulk for my smaller machine. I ended up using my big machine anyway on the others I made.
Mine are looking like this....

Closed.

Ready to put on.
