If you find your mask hard to breathe through, hot to wear, or generally uncomfortable then this is the video for you! I will demonstrate how to make this much lighter, airier and more comfortable mask. Not only is this less than half the weight and so much easier to wear, but it is actually almost twice a safe as a standard cotton mask. This is a great solution in hot or humid environments, as well as for those who feel vulnerable and desire more protection. Making this new mask will be liberating! Stay to the end where I will show your how to harvest quality wire and make comfortable straps for a great fit. If you want all the scientific data on this mask, click the link above to watch that video. Let’s buy supplies and start sewing!
May you breathe easy in your new comfortable mask!

FUNNY and TRUE story: I was working hard on this mask for the last week. I put my new mask on to run to the store last evening, came home and continued to work on the video. I changed, ate dinner, and finally crashed into bed very late. This morning I woke, checked the video progress, made coffee, made a phone call, and thought “What is this around my neck?!” Yes. It’s true.....this mask is so light and comfortable that I didn’t even know that it was around my neck all evening and even all night! I can BREATHE EASY because it is LIGHT and breathe easy because it is SAFE! My old double-layer cotton masks have a 38% filtration rate and weigh 18 g. This Breathe Easy mask is at 67% and weighs only 7.5 g!!
Note: You can also use a safety pin to thread your straps through the ear channels if you don’t have a large yarn needle.
