Would sewing a face mask with two layers of fabric and a piece of micron hepa filter fabric cloth from like a vacuum bag work at all to protect you from coronavirus?

Yes: Even just the cloth will afford some protection, micron filters can and should will boost the effect, not much beats an N-95 mask, if you can find some
