DIY Adjustable Cotton Masks

To make this mask you will need:

• Pattern Template
• Cotton Fabric
• 4 Metal Bra Slides
• 1/4 inch Elastic
• Thread
• Sewing Machine
  • Regular foot and a Freehand foot
• Clips or sewing pins
• Iron
• Ironing Board

You will need to cut 4 pieces using the template. You can cut all 4 at once as long as you layer the 4 pieces as two sets of fabric right sides facing. Each pair will be joined along the curve to create the front and back.

Sew the matching pieces right sides together along the curved edge. You will end up with two mask pieces.

I cut off the sticky part of a posit it and use it as a guide as I iron. Watch the video so see the technique.

You will need 4 pieces of elastic:

- Two 3" inch pieces fo elastic

- Two 12" pieces of elastic

In the first video I attach the elastic to the bra slides. The longer piece goes around the center of the bra slide and the shorter piece of elastic is folded in half through the side of the bra slide.

The straps are tacked down along their center and then I stitch the front and back pieces of the mask together just above the elastic pieces. If you dont include the elastic in the inseam it will stick out when you flip the mask inside out in the next step.

Flip the mask inside out, iron, and then top stitch along the top and bottom. And you're done!
