My new Favorite Face Mask Pattern!

With a few changes I used!

Here’s what I did differently:

1. I used about a 10” circle for a paper pattern.  Cut it in quarters so I could line it with white. Cut 2 of lining, 2 of print.

2. Sew the curves on the print fabric. Press open.

3 Sew the curves on the lining.  Press open. If you want the filter pocket, sew the edges down first.  I’m using non-woven fusible interfacing, so I think I will ignore the filter pocket in the future.  Just sew it closed after turning.

4. Open out both pieces, place them right sides together and sew around the whole thing.  

5. Turn, press and topstitch.  I didn’t bother with a nose wire because the larger sized  circle made the mask come up higher on my nose automatically.

6. I prefer to use a long cord instead of ear elastics.  Thread it from top to bottom on one side, come across and thread it from bottom to top on the other side.  I found a thick elastic cord in my stash that is nice.  Or a shoelace would work.
