Hacks to STOP LOSING your face mask and FIX those tight EAR LOOPS!

[@dale3404]

That is so true about fit. Everyone’s face is different, just like our bodies. I think I’m the first to comment!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Indeed, and then you add the various textiles, and grain-line to the issue and you have inconsistent sizing! Thank you for watching!

[@benten3165]

STOP WEARING THEM!!!!

[@susanbranchepoteet3175]

Thanks- In addition to your sewing and teaching skills, you have a great voice for this!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Oh thank you! Very nice of you to say! Be well my friend.

[@felisamccolligan3226]

Thank you Dawn, as alway you have great ideas. I will always think of you as one of the "Heroes at work here" you are one of the heroes that helped us through this pandemic. i've made countless masks for freiends and family. You helped me keep them safe. You are a great Teacher with such a soft and kind voice. A Blessing , you are.

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Wow, thank you! I appreciate your kindness. Be well my friend.

This is the first mask making video I’ve seen that uses the fabric ties, rather than elastic, bias tape, etc. I love using what I call “jersey ties” made from 3/4 strips of stretchy tee shirt material of various colors. I’ve never had a complaint of ear discomfort from any wearers of my masks, and the many color options make them so cheery. Thanks for the lanyard idea as well as the pony bead stopper. I have been using cut plastic straws, but the pony beads will be more durable! Thanks...nice video!

Thanks Pat, I appreciate the feedback! Be well and Happy Holidays!

[@akquilter3519]

You are very clever! Loved your video.

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback! Be well!

[@cheriloveland8074]

Thanks Dawn! Great video to watch after a day of sewing! Looking forward to making some holiday masks and I’ll be using some of your new hacks!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Oh Cheri wait to you see the new Holiday mask design I have! I am finishing the video now!!! So excited! Thanks for watching!

[@judiminer61]

Your video came up on my feed for what ever reason, I am so glad that it did. This is such a great idea for the lanyards for my grandchildren to have on their mask for school. They take their mask off for different reasons at school so this will come in very handy. My youngest grandson loses his mask all the time, not any more.

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Glad it was helpful! Let me know how it works out for you! Be well!

[@apadilla23]

Great tutorial Meam! Thanks for sharing 😌!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Thanks for watching!

[@julieraeryan2140]

Thanks for your tips Dawn! I’m the see it’s in my whole family so I’ve been given many masks from my family members asking me to change the ear loops in their masks. Going to use the Lycra idea! So very soft! And I agree with you... sewing is good for the soul!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Happy to help!

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Thank you! Will do! I appreciate the feedback! :) Be well!

[@maliksutton6634]

Hi Mrs Dawn, excellent tips on keep track with a face mask and prevent it from loosening. Also, you did a wonderful job showing how to place a face mask perfectly on your face because every mask is different along with the person. You can also tie the ear loops for a better fit.

Across the width of a tee-shirt that you are done with also works for beautiful strings, so comfortable.

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Yes! Thank you! I heard that one too! Thanks for sharing!

[@kaekae912]

[@annas.r.p.5835]

Do you have a hack for not wearing the ear loops on the ear ... I have tried hair bands and holders along the back of the hear but they always slip off and the mask comes off my face.

[@StreamlineSeamstress]

Hi Anna, This mask solves that problem. Be well, thanks for watching!kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5rdpYKcl8mhrM0

Great video, but it would have been helpful to see the mask on a person, adjusting the ear loops and using the lanyard.
