How to Make a Face Mask

📍Make a 9” x 7.5” pattern

📍Double fold your fabric, pin pattern to fabric & cut.

📍Optional: Cut 2 more pieces of fusible lining fabric.

📍Put right side of fabric together, add, fusible fabric top & bottom. Check which side fuses.
📍Cut two pieces of elastic about 9” each.

📍Pin elastic strips to inside as shown on the narrow side of the fabric rectangle.

📍Repeat on opposite side & pin
📍Sew 5/8 seam all around leaving a two inch opening so you can reverse.

📍Before you reverse, clip corners & sides for easing,

📍Reverse so the good side is exposed, Use end of scissors to release the corners fully.

📍Press/Iron the the fabric which will fuse the lining.
📍Add three pleats to your rectangle and pin securely.
Is okay if all pleats are not exactly even— but try to do that.

📍Sew all around the edge.
📍Try on your mask.

📍If the elastic is too big cut & tie so your mask fits securely.

📍for this mask I used 8” strips of elastic, which fitted me better.

📍Once you have made your proto type & made adjustments, make more.
