Description: Join me as I work on more masks to donate. You can see the entire process in the video HERE- youtu.be/EMrWJfXJAm8 Mask details - The body pieces are cut to 7.5 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 three 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 Supplies Used - Craft Clips - amzn.to/2Ux7xso 6 x 24 inch Ruler - amzn.to/3bq0rNm Rotary Cutter - amzn.to/2WJ30Wy Rotary Safe Glove - amzn.to/3bpWkAC Rotary Safe Mat - amzn.to/3ahdMaB Square Ruler - amzn.to/2vNPoOP Iron - amzn.to/2UAIKnq Ironing Table - youtube.com/watch?v=lk1PDHLmjUI I also share day to day updates on my Instagram stories - instagram.com/whitney_sews You can help support Whitney Sews and get sneak peeks on projects and videos on Patreon! patreon.com/WhitneySews You can find my favorite sewing supplies in my Amazon store.
