Pattern:
Above: Side view showing both
positions of the elastic.
I substituted this duck bill pattern for pattern I had originally
posted. It is easier to breathe and talk as the fabric does not touch the end
of nose or mouth.
Tutorial
Supplies:
1. Cotton material with a tight weave equal to a bed sheet, which is one
choice. I used dress fabric. Each mask pattern piece requires a 8 inch by 8 inch square of fabric. So you need 4 squares
of 8 inch by 8 inch fabric for each mask.
2. Contrasting fabric for outside and inside pieces.
3. At least 42cm or 16.5 inches of elastic for a man or woman. This
allows for ½ inch overlap to sew shut.
4. Sewing thread. I hand sewed my masks with quilting thread. They can
be machine stitched with cotton or polyester sewing thread.
Method:
1. Cut 2 masks of outside fabric and 2 masks of inside fabric. Notice
that pattern is 8 inches square. Each square of pattern is 1 inch by 1 inch.
2. Working on outside mask, first sew together center seam, good sides
facing each other.
3. Working on inside mask, sew together center
seam with good sides facing each other.
4. Align masks over each other with good sides facing each other and pin
together all edges.
5. Stitch top end together.
6. Stitch bottom end together. Do
not stitch sides together – leave free for turning.
7. Turn inside out so good sides of fabric are on outside.
8. Iron carefully along sewn edges to give a smooth appearance.
9. To make casing for elastic:
Fold side edges of outside mask ½ inch twice to inside and stitch close to
seam.
10. Insert 8.25 inch length of elastic through each side casing.
11. Overlap edges of elastic ½
inch and stitch together securely. Pin together and try on before sewing.
To Wear:
1. Slip elastics over ears as in photos. That’s it. Stay safe!
Observations:
Wash mask daily. I have 2 masks that I alternate, one to wear and one
washed out at night.
