New Mask Design with Vertical Pleats and NO Nose Wire Required!

[@patriciaburns8799]

Hi Tim! I'm a teacher so I know good teaching when I see it. Whether it's your ability to explain yourself well, your videoing abilities, or you sense of humor; you are head and shoulders above ANY KZbin video that I have ever seen. Thanks so much for presenting this unique and well-thought-out video.

[@soniabertsch8354]

Super mask! Great tutorial and excellent filming. I made one for my husband and I. I cut my elastic 8 inches and his 8 1/2. When finished I put two tiny quarter inch deep darts on the sides of each cheek, making the dart about 1 inch long. It really tucked it into my face nice and tight. My husband did not need the extra dart. The best thing for sure is no fog on my glasses!

From one outstanding teacher to another, Tim, you are an excellent teacher! Thanks. For those who have no wooden or bone "corner pusher," I use my large #13 wooden knitting needle. Same safe results, and no need to buy another item. Thanks again.

What a great idea! And your video is so easy to follow. Also, you have captured the secret to great sewing with your liberal use of that steam iron! However, my tailoring teacher back in 1972 would say you were pressing, not ironing. Ironing was for when we laundered but pressing was for when we sewed.

[@timothytotten9409]

Aha, that is so true! I'll have to try to remember that for the next video. Pressing, pressing, pressing. Hopefully that will stick. LOL

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am sensitive to bad audio and voices in videos and I want to thank you for a) having a nice voice and speaking style and b) having good filming equipment/ technique.

[@duffkw]

Absolutely love this, I have worked in health care for 29 years now and can honestly say, the use of a simple MASK can and WILL reduce the transmission of this horrible bug. I love to quilt, not many guys will confess to that but I find it quite relaxing to just sit and sew, odd I guess. I really appreciate your sharing this simple but yet so beneficial video to the viewers. Please take care and by all means, encourage people to wear a mask. Thank you for all you do. God Bless.

[@suecam39]

This is SO easy! I’m making it easier still by making a cardboard template that I can trace around, then cut. It saves lots of folding/pressing/measuring/cutting steps. Glad I found this video.

[@zenbrooklyn]

Hi! I would like to ask Did you make your template of the original rectangle shape he starts with, or of the octagon shape created after the corners were cut off? Thank you for sharing! ✌️😍

The octagon shape. I made the template out of cardboard, layered two fabrics, traced around it and cut out the shapes.

Hi Tim! I just saw my template has shipped, I am SO excited! I am the one who FRANTICALLY, tried to switch my order because I ordered wrong one. I appreciate you trying to call me and the follow up e-mail, assuring me, you got the message and were going to send the right one! As I said I have 23 grandkids and 10 adult children to deal with at Christmas, how weird is it to be giving masks, but that's all we can afford, and it's a sign of the times! I am going to be 63 in January and arthritis has taken a toll on my hands. I love the idea of LESS WORK with the template, also I LOVE your video here, very clear and informative. Thank You and God Bless!

This is my favorite mask to make and to wear! I’ve made the Olsen mask, the 3D mask, the horizontal pleated masks, and copied a popular mask from 🎯. This one fits the best, I’m not muffled when I speak, there aren’t any obvious gaps, and I can breath! Thank you so much!

[@cherylannewilson5739]

Fabulous pattern. Clear concise instruction. Loved the size comments. I am adding a polypropylene inner layer as recommended by several university studies. I am also adding a large inner pocket for extra filter two layers of facial tissue found to be very helpful. Really appreciate all of your thought and technique that went into your video. Your kindness, compassion, creativity and love of sewing really shine.

[@joer.martinez2398]

Love this mask. You made it so easy to understand every step . Most people who have these videos don’t explain or show how each step is done which makes it hard to know how they did a section because. You couldn’t see how they did it. You are a great teacher.

[@mercyfire]

I’ve made no less than five different masks (plus variations) and this is the first one that made sense through every step. I’m so grateful to finally make my dad a mask he is comfortable in all day. His glasses and hearing aids have been a challenge, between fogging up and rubbing behind his ears. Wonderful video, excellent instructions - couldn’t ask for better!

[@bjerles]

My hubby wears glasses and hearing aids and he likes the masks made with the two straps that go around the back of the head.

[@mariaraines5145]

That is very cool! Looks so much more comfortable than what we’ve become used to, and I live that there is no nose wire to worry about! Instructions are crystal clear- I am so looking forward to having my glasses not fogging up!

I totally agree with Patricia Burns! I teach English Language Learners and I like how you showed and explained everything clearly. I am a visual learner, but I also like good explanations. I will try this design soon. Very cool.

I have high respect for when the mask is shown being worn. I'm a visual person, I gotta see what it looks like when it's put on. Thank you for this tutorial. And the Star Trek theme fabric is so fun!

[@gwynngriffin3508]

Hello, Tim! Thank you so much for this great video ... Love the vertical pleats and ease of instructions, but I love YOU most of all! It's so grand to have a guy providing a mask tutorial, and you certainly do a fantastic job :) The world needs more Tim Tuttons! Bravo and many blessings to you and all those you care for. (I did add a center layer of 3M Filtrete filter for extra protection; the simplicity of this shape made that addition very easy.) Thanks again!

[@blueleafblueleaffarmsllc1898]

I'd love for you to explain how you added the filter! I'm a novice sewer and I've been searching comments to try and figure out how to add a filter pocket to this. Thanks.

[@gwynngriffin3508]

@@blueleafblueleaffarmsllc1898 Hi, Stephanie :) To be fair, what I added isn't a pocket in the sense that with filter pockets I've made before, the filter is removable and replaceable. For this pattern, I simply cut a piece of the Filtrete smaller than the seam allowances and placed it so it would become a middle layer. It doesn't even require stitching it to the other two layers; it actually makes the pleating too thick if you cut the filter the same size as the back and front. But it stays in place just fine as a "free" layer. You can even tuck it inside after you've turned the mask right side out. Hope this helps!

[@joankiely3614]

I have been looking up how to make masks on KZbin & it has been very difficult to find a clear tutorial. I have now found your channel & have watched three of your tutorials on mask making. Your are amazing to say the least!! Not only are they simple to make, but very functional & the instructions are very clear & precise 😇. Thank you so much, your samples are just wonderful. As I am making masks for my neighbours as well, I need clear instructions & simple patterns & you have given me both! Thanks again, cheers 😘❤️💕😍😊

[@susanemley1073]

I have made about 300 masks since March, but the first vertical-pleat mask was a great hit with my schoolteacher daughter, who said it was super comfy and it poofed out so that it didn't touch your mouth. She asked me to make another for her and one for her larger hubby. Thanks for the simple and easy-to-follow directions. I also like lots of ironing.

It's so refreshing to see someone actually sewing something, instead of pitching some crappy no-sew option. Sewing is a basic skill, and everyone should know it, like cooking.

[@cilandialane3084]

Not everyone has extra money for a machine and supplies. They decide to feed their children instead. And if they do not have food money and a no sew is the best they can do at the moment, at least they are trying to not suck in and eat sick slimy snot from a sick person into their mouths.

Never thought of this way of making a face mask. I most definitely will make it. The instructions are very detailed shows the sewing, ironing and cutting. Thank you.

[@anon2131]

Good idea. I am getting this red mark where the metal piece at the top of the mask rubs against top of my nose. I thought about creating a soft extra casing for this bit but your idea is even better still. But, even with the vertical pleats, I still would do a bit of gathering or insert some shirring or hat elastic to have the sides sit more snugly against the face. So less air can get in on the sides. I've been considering the balaclava mask idea. It would give the best cover is correctly designed. With the added benefits of keeping your entire face warm in cold conditions or keeping face from burning in hot sun, like in Australia in summer. The summer version could be of washable light fabric but three layers around mouth and nose area. The winter version could be of knitted acrylic or wool etc fabric with a removable cotton or similar washable lighter fabric in three layers, for the mouth and nose covering. This could be removed and washed daily, no need to wash the rest of the covering as often. Less virus could get in with such a versatile mask. The only drawback is people not able to recognise their friends, which is also a problem now, in their masks we are all required, by law, to wear here.

[@debbiepilote415]

My masks were turning out wrong, I noticed that you measure over 2" from corner but say 3" from corner, and it turned out proper. Love your video, very easy to understand. Thank you.

When I've tried the pleats on the sides before, it took me about 30 min to do the pleats,so frustrating! I'm an experienced sewer, so the rest of the mask making goes well for me. Mostly I've tried non pleated masks, though some of those are much slower to cut out. Your pattern seems to have all the efficiency to go faster.

Great video, thanks!! I loved how you stitched and then folded the rectangle to trim using the mat, and pressed in creases based on seams and corners, instead of using a template and measuring. So obvious now I’ve seen it! I’ll be looking for the cord locks and soft elastic. Would love to see measurements for various sizes, I’ll have to learn more about you tube to find them and whatever other videos you’ve made, as I only know that channels exist here but not how to find or navigate them:) I’ll be trying this out tomorrow and since it’s all based on a rectangle I can try different sizes and wing the corners. Looks like one could create side channels for elastic without too much trouble, too. Thanks again to you and Winnie, I’ve seen a lot of mask videos and this is the best by far; you’re very good at this!

I did that with some of my first experiments with masks. I did wash the mask before putting in the pleats to make the interfacing more malleable.

Great tutorial. Great idea for vertical pleats. I would suggest one improvement; don't sew both ends shut. Leave one end open, because then you can put in a filter (if you can find one), a tissue, a paper towel, a piece of non-woven interfacing, a piece of silk, or other material with a different weave (helps block viral particles).

Or you can just iron on a non woven interfacing to one or both fabrics and that acts as a filter and keeps mask looking nice and crisp through washing’s.

I’m not a mask wearer except when I must. THIS video, your way of showing us how... awesome. Best one I’ve seen and I’ve watched a lot of them! Ty.

Tim you are a pleasure to watch! This was my first vid I found of yours and I’ll be checking out the others. Just wanted to say you are doing a wonderful job and inspiring confidence in others to try their hand too. ❤️
