I have been sewing cloth masks since March 2020. It is a simple pattern that has one layer plus a filter pocket and has gathers on the ends. Nothing fancy. Recently I tried to make a 3 D mask. It took me a very long time to make just one and I swore I wouldn't make any more. However, I did notice that the masks I had been making did tend to cave into the mouth when talking. So I watched many more videos on how to make the 3D mask and picked one that looked the easiest and then tweaked it.
These masks are 2 layers of 100% cotton with an additional cloth filter pocket making it 3 layers. I also place a paper filter inside making it 4 layers making it effective in preventing the virus from penetrating. It has a nose piece to help fit around the nose. It takes more material than the masks I was making previously as well as more time but I do like the looks and the fit much more.

I tweaked my pattern again. I made it wider.
The wider pattern allows me to fold over the sides and sew down the bottom edges better. It will probably fit a larger face which is my desire as I only use this one pattern as a one size fits all.

I love them! And your workmanship is so tight. How do you find the time??
ReplyDeleteI've been sewing every single day since March. Lately I have been feeling burnout and probably won't be sewing for much longer. I want to finish up the fabric I have already cut out and then may quit.
DeleteHi Linda. Chris pointed me here, and I'd like to buy a few 3D masks and an eye warmer if I may. I love the fabrics and the design.
ReplyDeleteIf you have them available, my favorites are:
Gold brocade
Orange and white Hawaiian
Red and white polka dot
Planets on purple
Tie-dye white dots
Rice eye warmer, contoured (you can pick for me)
If this works, let me know at chillyrodent@gmail.com how to pay you, plus shipping costs. I'll also go to your FB page so you'll have my contact.
Thank you for doing this!
