Whitney Sews | Hang Out- Sewing Masks to Donate @Whitney_Sews | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Join me as I work on more masks to donate. You can see the entire process in the video HERE- youtu.be/EMrWJfXJAm8
Mask details -
The body pieces are cut to 7.5 x 8.5 inches (I show in the video how cut the fabric to get the best use)
The ties are made from 2 inch by 36 inch strips of fabric or extra wide double fold bias tape cut to 36 inches
Place two pieces of prewashed cotton fabric right sides together (feel free to add additional layers I'm only using 2 because that is what was requested)
Sew along the two long edges, backstitching at the beginning and ending
Flip to the right sides and press so the seams are lined up with the folds
Make three pleats along the length of the mask, each about a half inch deep, and clip in place
Sew along the short sides to hold the pleats in place
If using fabric for the ties iron in each long side by about a half inch (or just a little less) then fold in half and press again
Find the center of the tie and place the side of the mask there so the raw edges are tucked between the layers
Add a few clips to hold in place
Start at one end of the tie and sew along the open folded edge across where the mask is inserted and all the way to the other end
Repeat for the second tie
Clip the threads and press the pleats and your mask is complete
The ties allow the mask to fit a variety of sizes and can be trimmed later if they are too long
