Best mask sewing video out there! So clear and easy to follow. Please create more sewing videos.

[@aprilmadison8221]

I agree!!

[@priscillairwin4490]

I reread the notes on the pattern for increasing the size to men's size by adding 1/2 inch to seam. To print this size pattern set your page to print at 120% (this is on most print set for the page you're going to print). This gave me a pattern to copy. Thanks for this tutorial and pattern. I love it.

I am not a sewer by any means and have made a few mask for the family. I love this tutorial and it looks so easy to follow compared to a lot of the other ones. What is the reasoning for the zigzag stitch? Sorry if that’s a stupid question.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Awe thank you so much for your kind words. I am not a professional sewer at all. Completely self taught, which is why I wanted to make this video because I find the videos by professional sewers go too fast or use terms I don't understand. I learned from a sewer friend that the zig zag stitch holds much tighter than the straight especially when going through multiple layers. And since the side area is where a lot of tension will be from the loops puling, I wanted a stitch that would hold really well.

[@rebeccalott8625]

You’ve done a beautiful job teaching this lesson, especially for new sewers!! Fantastic job!!

Using tights is a great idea for ear loops, thanks a lot saves on buying elastic!👍

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I'm so glad. I hated using elastic and I watched a video where someone used a t-shirt cut into strips. It was so comfortable but I hated having to cut strips. Using tights came out of pure laziness on my part, but it works the best, lol.

[@azgal001]

I have spent hours watching videos and gotten so confused. I just want to make a cute madk I can wear without breaking out. I loved that your video is in inches. My question is how can I lock a stitch without back stitching my machine doesn't have it. And I have issues with getting a straight seem any suggestion would be very helpful.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I am sorry it took me so log to respond. Usually I can comment right away but things have been crazy in the Perez household. Hi. Glad my video is helpful. To lock a stitch without back stitching, you can just lift the foot with the needle still in the down position and turn the fabric 180 degrees, stitch a few stitches and then turn it back again and stitch a few more. Ironing also helps lock in stitches. Getting a straight seam really just takes practice. I am a self taught sewer. I practice on old clothes a lot. Draw a line on an old t shirt and some circles and just practice sewing on the line. A good tip is to not look at the needle but look at the seam measurement on the machine or the foot. Hope this helps.

[@ladyg1150]

[@rolo7110]

I made your mask and it turned out great! I used T-shirt material for the lining to make it more comfy. Also, instead of turning over the ends and putting a loop of elastic in, I cut a strip and hand stitched the ends to the corners. I was able to get a very custom fit. Fits my face perfectly. Thank you!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Oh wow I am so glad you like the tutorial. I love the idea of hand stitching in the ear loop for a personalized fit. :)

[@clarethalvarez4024]

Great tips! You like this mask, I'd recommend the Unity Point Hospital "Olson" mask. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ-5nGRoqKuFobs

[@MEMEEATER-DOM]

Wow! Finally. I see my own. But I love to show fabric, thanks.

[@jackyf3505]

I'm using a similar pattern but found it far easier to trace it onto a folded piece of paper and then open for a whole mask pattern so the two fabrics can be place same sides together (right/right or wrong/wrong) and avoid any fiddling trying to align the folds which is prone to inaccuracy.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

That's a great idea. I'm terrible at cutting so I find for me the smaller the pattern, the less actual cutting. And it really works well when I stack fabrics so I can cut multiple masks at the same time.

[@aprilmadison8221]

I like your teaching method alot! I don't use the machine as much as I hand stitch but you are very easy to follow! I plan on following your teaching....😙

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Awe thnak you so much!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Thank you so much and please let me know what you think after you make one. I used to teach so I try to make my videos as easy to follow as possible. I am not a professional seamstress, so I try not to take for granted that everyone knows every step.

[@dragnfly138]

Exactly what I was looking for and you have a lovely round face, like me. All other masks seem to just squish my nose more. Gonna give this one a shot today, but I feel like it is going to be a winner. Finally!!

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Haha, I hope it works out for you. I hear ya, we round faced gals can be tricky to find a mask that doesn't go too far up and still covers our face well. I also have a flatter nose so this one works well for me.

[@dragnfly138]

We have a winner, y’all. I did add 1cm to the front and bottom and 1.5cm to the casing area. I wanted to have enough space in case I needed to add the plastic frame for extended outing. This is perfect. My DD and I thank you. You freakin’ rock.

[@doreenparkins9500]

Thank you for sharing this. Your tutorial is so easy to follow. Can you explain what is meant by cutting more of an angle at the bottom to make it fit a man’s chin? Thank you, Doreen

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hi. If you compare the pattern fro teen boys and the women's you will see that there is more of a upward angle to the bottom cut. I find that that helps fit better for men.

[@diannesalazar2420]

Thank yo so much for using clips...not pins. So important to not put in holes no matter how small!

[@jaelynrae5493]

I love the tights for loops idea! I would add to the channel before sewing it closed though to avoid having to tie bulky knots. 😬

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Thank you. That is another great way to do it. I find if you pull it tight it didn't add bulk and it also allows people to change the loops or customize it.

[@afeeser]

I finally made this pattern, and it came out beautifully. Thank you for sharing. I wonder if there is a way to make this in three layers without it being too bulky.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

So glad you like it! I've never tried 3 layers however you can do the 2 layer with pocket and add a paper mask inside to make it 3. I did that for my whole family when we had to take a plane to CA.

[@randisteckler536]

I really like your mask and instructions but I don't see a pattern. Where can I find it?

[@dkrzyston8485]

Happy I found your mask video. I’m going to give it a try this weekend. Great tip about using kids tights. I’m going to try this too.😷

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Yay I'm so glad!

[@Shawn.72]

Easy mask to make. Do you have a medium adult mask pattern? I feel the large seems to big for my face. Thanks.

[@rkng1]

Most of these mask patterns can be enlarged or decreased by measuring around the pattern and either adding or subtracting 1/8. to 1/4" all around. Sometimes you only need to increase or decrease the sides/cheek. This will add a total of either 1/4" or 1/2" all the way around. If you don't have a quilting ruler, a protractor or school ruler will help. Put current pattern on your cloth and use a light pencil mark to mark increase on fabric. If making several masks, I find redrawing a pattern on construction paper works well. Cardboard is also good but hard to cut out. Hope this helps. Stockings from dollar store can be cut and used for ear loops also.

Are you able to do a video slowing down how you add pickets and a nose piece to the masks? Can I use twist ties instead of a pipe cleaner?

Hi! I will definitely add that to my list of videos to do. I also have a great trick to add a removable nice wire pocket to any mask. I'm not sure about twist ties. I have heard people use coffee bag ties that are metal.

I am so glad you find this video helpful. I will try and add the pattern, but you can use the existing pattern and just cut the side cheek pieces off and use that as a template.

Hi! I'm totally a self-taught sewer, but I would be more than happy to try. I think you would just add three layers and then sew it the the same way.

I bought a kids mask for myself when it was the only one available. Later they recvd more inventory. I held mine againt the packaged adult size, to compare, it was 1" larger all the way around. The extra large was 1.5 " larger on all sides. Laying flat & folded in half the design of this mask pattern & my kids mask are very close. I found a good method to test your patten. Is by cutting it out of napkins or coffee filters (finished size w/o seam allowance) then scotch taping the seams. Then you can custom fit the mask to your face. Afterwards you can add whichever seam allowance you want.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hi. Thank you so much. I didn't measure a kids pattern because my children are grown, so I didn't want to post a pattern that I want sure fit. But you could use the female pattern and just measure 1/2 inch in from all the edges and cut it so it's 1/2 inch smaller. Before you sew it, pin the darts then fit it to your childs face to see where you need to take it in more. That's how I created the other patterns. Once you have a good fit (remember allow extra for seam allowance) then before you sew, trace it out on paper so you have a pattern.

What I do and tell the people I make them to do is pull the lower elastic on either until the side of the mask gathers a little and then adjust the knot where it is tied. Makes for a very snug fit.

You don’t need the extra side pieces if you want to make a pocket for a filter. Just edge finish the sides with a serger or fold the ends/stitch down. Then finish as the mask without the pocket. No need to have overlap, the filter stays put and is quickly removed for wash

[@LanaUnderPressure]

I have actually made a few masks that way (Though I don't have a serger so I have to fold and stitch to make a finished edge. However, I found this way The mask is the same thickness from edge to edge and sits a little better plus people seem to like the 2 layers all the way around.

Great question. I have used everything from child's dance tights from Walmart or leggings from Costco. It really is what you find the most comfortable. Actually any material that stretches and rolls in instead of fraying (like some t-shirts) will work.

I saw someone cut the arms off a tshirt & cut strips of knit fabric the same way.

Wheres the measurements

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Hi. I added the patterns but the measurements I could not figure out how to add that tot he video for every size pattern. I will try and add them to the description below. I created my patterns not by measurement but by tracing a store bought mask and then tweaking it for better fit.

[@LanaUnderPressure]

Thank you so much. This was my first mask tutorial and I couldn't figure out how to add all the relevant measurements for every pattern size. I will try and find a way to add them in the description below.

I watched the tutorial ...where as it is the easiest way for sewing a face mask....it will be greatly appreciated if measurements is given in order to make a pattern as it was not given in the tutorial.....
