even for those who need them most, like our healthcare workers.\u00a0 Like many of you, my work has been affected by the pandemic, so while I&#8217;m home I decided to do what I could to help.\u00a0 So I asked my friends who are healthcare workers if they could use washable fabric masks.\u00a0 The answer was a resounding yes, so if you&#8217;re willing to make some, please ask around in your area to see who needs them.\u00a0 If you don&#8217;t know anyone in a medical field but your city has a local group on Facebook, post there or on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nextdoor.com\">Nextdoor<\/a>.\u00a0 I guarantee you will find someone who needs these!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9703\" src=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web.jpg\" alt=\"handmade diy face mask sewing tutorial\" width=\"1500\" height=\"970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8900web-50x32.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE READ these important notes before moving on to the instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Disclaimer: these masks are not N95 masks and do not qualify as PPE<\/strong> (healthcare workers will know what this means).\u00a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/hcp\/ppe-strategy\/face-masks.html\">However,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/hcp\/ppe-strategy\/face-masks.html\">the CDC has altered their requirements<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/hcp\/ppe-strategy\/face-masks.html\"> (click here for the link)<\/a> <\/strong>due to the extreme shortage of masks, and has said that homemade masks such as bandannas or scarves can be used as a last resort.\u00a0 These fabric masks can be worn alone or over a disposable mask to hopefully help prolong its use by keeping it from getting dirty on the outside from repeatedly touching it.\u00a0 <strong>These masks will NOT filter out coronavirus microbes.<\/strong>\u00a0 But they can help healthcare workers who work in low-risk departments conserve N95 masks for their co-workers who work with patients who have (or are suspected to have) contagious diseases.\u00a0 The masks can help healthcare workers who have NO masks at all.\u00a0 We&#8217;re in a &#8220;it&#8217;s better than nothing&#8221; situation here, people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before making the masks, I spoke to my friend Erin (who is a surgical nurse) about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deaconess.com\/How-to-make-a-Face-Mask\">a popular mask tutorial that&#8217;s going around on Facebook<\/a>, and asked her what features she and her co-workers would need\/want in a mask so I could modify the pattern if she needed something different.\u00a0 She said it&#8217;s good if the mask is tall enough to go up under your chin a bit while still covering your nose, and pleats are needed to give space for you to talk without the mask touching your mouth.\u00a0 So I took the specs from two masks (a disposable one I had at home, plus one that Erin uses in the OR) and combined them to try to create one mask that could be used for many purposes.\u00a0 Half her co-workers like masks that tie, the other half like ear loops, so I&#8217;m providing instructions for both types.\u00a0 <strong>The masks are sized to fit most adults.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I strongly suggest using a <strong>smooth cotton fabric (such as quilting cotton)<\/strong> for your masks.\u00a0 It&#8217;s soft, easy to care for and generally a safe choice for people with sensitivities.\u00a0 The tutorial I mentioned above suggests cotton flannel for the lining\/inside of the mask, but Erin thought it would be really hard to breathe through.\u00a0 After trying on these masks multiple times for fit purposes, I also think flannel would get pretty hot.\u00a0 No matter what you use, it needs to be machine washable and dryer safe.\u00a0 Gender neutral prints are a plus!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you want to make masks with ear loops: narrow width flat elastic (1\/4&#8243; and under) is starting to get hard to come by because of the demand for these masks.<\/strong> If you can&#8217;t find any locally, try Etsy.\u00a0 You can also use cord elastic as long as it&#8217;s appropriate for sewing and is machine washable\/dryer safe.\u00a0 Keep in mind that some cord elastics are quite firm and are hard to stretch, so you may need to use longer pieces to account for that.\u00a0 Cord elastic is also a little harder to work with because it likes to roll\/slide out from under your sewing machine&#8217;s foot.\u00a0 If you can find narrow flat elastic, use that.\u00a0 It&#8217;s much easier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you want to make masks with ties: <\/strong>I tried several options for ties &#8211; twill tape, bias tape, and making my own ties out of fabric tubes.\u00a0 Twill tape and bias tape are the fastest and easiest since they&#8217;re premade (double fold bias tape does need to be sewn shut, while both tapes need their ends finished).\u00a0 Use caution when choosing materials for ties &#8211; I discussed this with the fabric guy at Joann, and he mentioned some grosgrain ribbons will not hold up to washing.\u00a0 If you use bias tape, make sure to get 1\/2&#8243; DOUBLE fold bias tape, not single fold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These instructions assume you have some basic sewing knowledge (for example, back stitching won&#8217;t be notated in the instructions, so you need to be aware of when you should be securing your stitches).\u00a0 The instructions also assume a <strong>1\/4&#8243;

from the bottom of your mask.\u00a0 I just eyeball the pleats, so you don&#8217;t have to measure and be super precise unless you want to.\u00a0 You need a total of 3 pleats, each one about 3\/8&#8243; wide, and they should be right up against each other (see photos below).\u00a0 If they&#8217;re not all EXACTLY the same size, it&#8217;s okay!\u00a0 You can just finger press the pleats and pin them, but an iron will help keep everything flat when you get to the machine.\u00a0 I find I don&#8217;t need to pin the pleats if I press them well enough.\u00a0 Your mask overall will be about 4&#8243; tall if you&#8217;ve done the pleats correctly (give or take a 1\/4&#8243; since we&#8217;re eyeballing here).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9718\" src=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web.jpg\" alt=\"first pleat on diy fabric mask\" width=\"1500\" height=\"983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web-768x503.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8868web-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9719\" src=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web.jpg\" alt=\"first pleat closeup on hand sewn face mask\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8871web-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9720\" src=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web.jpg\" alt=\"closeup of pleats on sewing tutorial for mask\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8872web-50x33.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>Once you&#8217;ve finished folding the pleats, your mask will look something like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9721\" src=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web.jpg\" alt=\"pleated face mask sewing tutorial\" width=\"1500\" height=\"929\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web-1024x634.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chanterellephotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/22-9685-post\/JKL_8878web-50x31.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>9. To finish your mask, sew around the edge of your mask twice.\u00a0 I like to start in a corner and sew the first line of stitching about 3\/8&#8243; from the edge of the mask to secure the pleats (make sure your pleats stay nice and flat as you sew over them).\u00a0 Go all the way around, and when you reach your starting point, continue 3-4 stitches past it, toward the edge of the fabric (see photos below).\u00a0 Leave the needle in the fabric, lift the foot, rotate the mask 90 degrees, and sew a second line of stitching parallel to the first.\u00a0 This line of stitching will be near the edge of the fabric and will neatly close the gap you left open to turn the mask inside out.\u00a0 Once you get back to your starting point, you&#8217;re done sewing!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style
