How To Make A Face Mask
You can expect to look and feel comfortable in your face mask. There will be a curved edge that is perfect for your chin to rest in and everything else will line up from there.
Materials
- Woven fabric (you don't need much, I used pieces of these fat quarters.
- Polyester thread
- Elastic ¼ inch thick
- Rotary Blade
- 12"x24" Pink Fabric Mat
Tools
- Sewing Machine
- Cricut Maker
- Fabric scissors
Instructions
- Load the correct size into Cricut Design Space.
- DO NOT RESIZE. The pattern is pre-sized to fit, small medium and large.
- Place the fabric onto your pink mat with the grainline verticle.
- Make sure thee square edge of your mask is sitting along the grainline. You have both sides of your mask so they will sit opposite each other on your mat.
- Load the machine and cut the fabric. You will need 4 pieces. 2 of each side.
- This pattern is for a reversible mask, so you are going to sew the 2 sets wrong sides together.
- Sew along the front curve, leaving a ½ inch seam allowance, only sew the front at this point.
- Cut off the seam allowance, cut close to the sewn thread being very careful not to cut into it.
- Now repeat numbers 7 and 8 for the other layers of fabric.
- You should now have 2 pieces to your mask instead of 4. Open them and place them wrong sides together.
- Sew along the top and bottom of your fabric, leaving the left and right edges open.
- Flip your fabric right side out.
Then iron flat. - Fold in the edges of the fabric and place it in your elastic.
- Sew 1-2 lines along the edge to secure the elastic.
- That's it! The curved edge of your mask is where your chin sits.
For PDF
Cut fabric with the straightest edge along the grainline then follow the above #7-14.
Notes
What is a grainline? With woven fabric, the threads will go 2 different ways. Lengthwise, which spans the cut edges and crosswise, which spans the selvage edges (the selvage is the band of fabric that runs up either side). The lengthwise direction is the grain of your fabric and what you use to line up your grainline.
