Good morning from your communist housewife, today we’re making masks!
First we make a pattern! These measurements are in centimeters.
You’ll want to make sure to mark the end of each dot with a line so you can draw the face mask shape at the top, front side, and bottom using the back line as a guide. When you’re done and have cut it out it should look like this:
We’re doing triple layer masks today, so we want a front, back and inner. We’ll be folding our fabric in half, and cutting two sets for the front and back and you’ll want to leave a border of about a centimeter for these pieces when you cut them out. 4 pieces in total. Like dis!:
For the inner layer we want to make it a bit shorter on the baseline so that we will be able to fold it inside when it’s been sewn. Like dis!:
At this point I like to give everything a real quick iron so that everything is laying flat and pretty for sewing! Full *STEAM* ahead 😂
Argue with your sewing machine for at least 30 minutes so it’s nice and ready.
Once you’re both sufficiently angry at each other sew the curved front line of all three sets of components like dis!:
After you’ve sewn all the components on the inside where you can see the stitch, cut a couple of slots up to the stitch so that the mask can bend about every inch, like dis:
