Description: Join me for a sew and chat while I make masks to donate to local clinics. These masks were requested to pass out to patients to wear in the office as well as to take home and wear as needed. This particular style will not prevent the spread of viruses. I am using stash fabrics, thread, and other supplies to make as many as I can. Mask details - The body pieces are cut to 6 x 8.5 inches (I show in the video how cut the fabric to get the best use) The ties are made from 2 inch by 36 inch strips of fabric or extra wide double fold bias tape cut to 36 inches Place two pieces of prewashed cotton fabric right sides together (feel free to add additional layers I'm only using 2 because that is what was requested) Sew along the two long edges, backstitching at the beginning and ending Flip to the right sides and press so the seams are lined up with the folds Make two pleats along the length of the mask, each about a half inch deep, and clip in place Sew along the short sides to hold the pleats in place If using fabric for the ties iron in each long side by about a half inch (or just a little less) then fold in half and press again Find the center of the tie and place the side of the mask there so the raw edges are tucked between the layers Add a few clips to hold in place Start at one end of the tie and sew along the open folded edge across where the mask is inserted and all the way to the other end Repeat for the second tie Clip the threads and press the pleats and your mask is complete The ties allow the mask to fit a variety of sizes and can be trimmed later if they are too long Want to help cover the cost of mask supplies?
