Accordion Style Face Mask

Simple 2 layer face mask

2 pieces of cotton fabric (6x9 inches each)

2 pieces of jersey fabric (1x7 inches each)

Thread

Sewing machine (or hand needle)

Take two pieces of fabric (6x9) and stack them with the outside of the fabrics facing in. Pin the fabrics in place

Sew along the long side of the fabrics, 1/4 inch from the edge. Do not sew the short sides, yet.

Turn the fabrics right-side out and tuck in the short sides 1/2 inch on each side.

Iron the fabric on all edges. This will allow for a cleaner end product.

Then fold the project in half and iron it again. This will mark the center of the mask for your reference.

Open the fabric and create 2 pleats. Each pleat should start 1/2 inch from the center of the mask and be folded towards the center of the mask. Pin the pleats in place and iron them.

Tuck the ends of the 1 inch strips of jersey into the top and bottom of the open ends of the mask and pin them in place.

Sew 1/4 inch around the mask to finish the edges and close the mask.
