Supplies
Supplies are listed on PDF, too:
Equipment:
- Rotary cutter w/fresh blade
- 36" cutting mat
- Sharp scissors or thread cutter
- Seam ripper
- Straight pins, clips, fabric marker
- Sewing machine (note - you can make these by hand)
- Serger (optional - zig zag or finishing stitch works, too)
- Long ruler (I use both a 24" quilting ruler and a 36-42" Drywall Square)
- Hem gauge (Ruler will work)
- Iron, ironing board
Construction Tips:
- If making multiple masks, cut in groups - all fronts, all backs, all side pieces
- Use of dry wall square is a game changer; super fast and easy to keep straight
- Goal is to make a wearable mask; don't get caught up in whether your seams are perfect or all pieces match
- If making multiples, sew all by steps, similar to making blocks for a quilt
- Remember, the seam ripper is your friend
Filters: Please review info on instructions - do your homework when you get ready to make a mask. Materials are changing daily, as is availability. The most effective masks have high screen filters.
