FINALLY someone who knows how to talk during a tutorial. So many out there play annoying music while playing traffic cop with the directions for whatever it is they are making. Thank you for a great video & for talking . Cant wait to try these.
I appreciate that!
Finally someone made an easy face mask, I love the way you just folded the ear loop behind it instead of hiding it inside and make it more difficult to sew, Great Job!!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much! You have simplified the pleats for me!! Bless you for helping the elderly, my 95 yo aunt is in a care home and I haven't been able to see her for a long time.
I find that the stretchy loops for kids’ potholder looms work great. Soft and comfortable. Available at craft stores.
Thank you for this great tutorial!
You can find those stretchy loops in the second hand store. Maybe like Goodwill or whatever you have in your neighborhood.
That's a great idea! way to be creative!
Very easy simple face mask. Good video.
Many thanks!!
Using baby head bands on the mask, is a great idea!!
Glad you liked it
THANK YOU for the super-easy pleat making method. Have struggled with the pinch method and this is a breeze. Much appreciated!
I am so glad it helped!
Great video, simple and easy. Love the way you created the pleats and also the attachment of the ear loops! Thanks for sharing your talent Joyce from Huntsville Alabama. God bless you!
Glad it was helpful!
LoL, no wonder I had so much trouble with those darn pleats, thank you dear, you just made it easy!! God bless you!! 🙋💕✝🇱🇷
I am happy to help. You should have seen my first pleats, I totally understand the frustration! God bless you too!
@@SarahYoang oh the pleats!! LoL, was such a pain. You're brilliant, thank you again. Much love! 🙋❤✝💕🇱🇷
I just had to comment, the cutting it in half of the nylon headband was an awesome idea. I was already thinking I purchased a huge bag for nothing because they are huge, but that idea now will help me continue to sew alot of mask for more people that need them.
Good! I am happy my video was helpful. Many blessings and health to you and your family
Scusa ma non ho visto le misure
I am practically brand new to sewing! THANK YOU for this tutorial. I used elastic (1/4 inch) and it was a little tricky but was able to make a practice mask. Now I’m excited to get “fancy”!
That’s wonderful!
@@SarahYoang Also wanted to add that I passed your video along to my mom who is a veteran sewer/quilter and she loved it, too. She passed it along to her sister in PA, quilt country! lol You made a hit, Sarah!
Kim Cox 🤗
Thank you Sarah. This is by far the easiest way to put the ear loops on. Best mask video of all.
Irene Steedman thank you very much. I am happy you found this tutorial very easy and helpful!
Initially I didn't understand 8 x 14. Others I looked at said 6 x 9 or 10. They were using 2 different colors. Your method is so simple and precise. And you are right that we should be making them for the senior centers and retirement homes and I hadn't even thought of that. I will now. And your folding before you made your pleats made them come out so perfect! Your voice is sweet and kind sounding. I am sure your residence respond well. Thank you for your kind heart and this good video.
Wonderful! I am so happy my video has helped you out! Thank you for watching
I love masks for my family and friends. Thank you so much for your patterns. They are easy and fast. Shirley
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
This is genius!!! I have watched so so many other tutorials that made no where near enough sense to understand. I love this!
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best explanation on how to do pleats. Thank you for uploading.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent. The easiest way to make the pleats of all demos I have watched. Thank you. ps....And truly that has been dozens!
Awesome video. I have made a ton of masks and keep tweaking and trying to come up with a faster version of other maks. Good comes to those who wait...or should I say search long enough. It was really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Please share, so it might be easier for others to find too.
I hope you are well and healthy
I'll wager you're a wonderful kind caring employee at the retirement community. Sure the residents smile when you enter the room. Well done tutorial thanks for sharing.
The very best video for making masks that I’ve watched. Bless and thank you.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Another thing that works really well for elastic is cutting up stretchy pants into one inch strips and stretching them so they curl up. They work amazing!
Pinterest has elastic!! YaY, I bought 1/8 inch, showed up in my mail fast. Just a fyi. 🙋❤✝🇱🇷
That is perfect for Cotton pleated mask you created. Reusable; save the Earth, tree, and protect everyone. I liked it. You are very smart.
Thank you! 😊I am just sharing what we did at work!
Loved your tutorial. Very clear and concise. I have added a middle layer of pillow protector fabric made of polypropylene. This was advised for masks in Australia. Thank you.
This is by far the best instructions on how to make the pleated mask!!!! Thank you.
I am glad it was helpful!
@@SarahYoang thank you and you make it all look so easy. I am to try and make one
I've watched what seems like 1000 videos and this is the best!!!!!! Thanks a million!!!!
Thank you so much!
Really clear & simple instruction. Will use this pattern repeatedly & send masks to seniors. Thank you
Ain't it so true. I'm still watching 1000 how to videos, but this one really looks like one of the best. I just can't get over the raw edges yet. Great video. Clever use of baby head bands, and the narrator is wonderful.
Thank you. The best instructions yet on making a simple mask. Most appreciated
No problem 👍
Wonderful short video for a pleated mask. Thorough job start to finish. Sarah has a very pleasing voice, Thanks so much.
Beautiful pattern Very easy! I was having issues with the pleating and you made it so easy!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Beautiful mask !!! Please give us a better & longer look at the finished mask in the future. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the constructive advice! I will keep that in mind in my future videos
Nice short video , i take width , cheek bone to cheek bone , and 1 inch extra on either side , depending as to how you wish to have your earloop. Thanks for sharing, easy to follow and make it. Thanks again and good bless
Thanks for the tips!
When this first started, i only had an old sheet to use. I did not feel comfortable giving masks away that i made with that. So i ordered fabric online,cuz the stores were closed, and ihave been waiting since march for that to come in.it came in yesterday.june 17th. Since there was no elastic available either I got some t-shirt yarn to use for the ears, works great. Highly recommend it. Thank you for the simple tutorial.

Great trick for the pleats.If anyone is looking for elastic, try doing a search on etsy.com some of those vendors may still have some and you'd be helping out a small business.
Also wish.com has elastic.
Finally!!! A tutorial that makes sense. A friend sent me this video and the pleat mystery has been solved. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! On a side note, 7 1/2 inches is too short for the elastic, I made mine with 8 1/2 inches of elastic.

Nice simple instructions that are easy to follow. You're a blessing! Who would have thought this pandemic would create a fashion statement! Makes it fun. I'll be keeping all my masks after this is over. I'm starting to think I might start wearing masks more often when I'm sick or during flu season. I work at a Primary school K-1. Need I say more? LOL! I know other countries regularly wear them. I think we would have fared much better had we been a nation that wasn't so foreign to mask-wearing. Stay well, everyone!
I have been wanting to make a mask with pleats , you made look so easy . I don't have a swing machine , but I can hand sew it . Thank you so much for your tutorial . 🌸💐🌺🌼🌷💐
This is the best by far video on how to make the pleats...thank you!
Lots of good ideas, there, that I haven't seen before. Thanks for showing us how you do it.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching
Great mask and thank you for the reply to a subscriber with measurements for a larger size. My hubby has a big face so much appreciated.
No problem 😊
This is the easiest mask pattern I have found. Thank you so much.
thank you so much for this tutorial. .. you were clear and concise in demonstrating and explaining it...
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this video.
Made my first mask tonight, (thanks to you), never realized just how easy it is.
Thank you!

Wow, thank you!
thank you for a great video with info on each item used. I haven't been able to figure out what was used on the earpiece until your video.
Ronda, thank you for watching, there are many substitutes available, like stretchy shirts or leggings as well as panty hose! Some like to use hair ties too, but I have noticed the hair ties are hard to sew in and also are not as comfortable
Thank you for this, i was recommended it by a friend and have niw passed it on to others. I used tshirt material for most of iur families masks, and i found there were so many layers in some places (up to 10 I think!) that my sewing machine motor couldn't cope and i had to hand-crank it. But that worked fine 🙂 Thanks
Carolyn Cload should be using 100% cotton.
@@LynnLGray thanks but why?
The CDC had recommended cotton for masks because it was better to "Filter" out particles that could make you sick. It was also recommended because of the ability to breath through.
Honestly, I think that you would still need a filter no matter which fabric you choose to use.
Here is a link for another video that includes a filter pocket:

Thank you I like your pattern the best. It's much simplier.
I'm glad you like it
The best basic instruction to make a face mask .thank you 😊
Thank you for watching and for sharing!
💕 Wow, this was my favorite video !! I've never seen those baby head bands. All I have available at home are the hair ties. (Sigh) I hope they'll b be ok.
Thank you for your video ! 💗😊🙋🏻♀️
D Lee they should be okay but they will not be as stretchy, I would add an inch in length to the ear pieces. Hopefully that helpsp
You make these masks so very easy! I am going to give it a try! Thanks!!
Wonderful! Have fun!
Thanks for explaining it as if I knew nothing. After trying to make a few of these I sure felt like it.
It is harder than it looks! I hope my video helped.
@@SarahYoang You helped immensely. I'm now whipping them out like it's nothing. Thank you.
I have made several of these, for my Granddaughter's, and me. They take very little time. Great!!
Very sweet. Loved the masks
Rosemary Kehoe thank you so much I hope it helps
I love this tutorial! Thanks so much for your kind and caring spirit!!
Great video ! Very clearly shown and explained
I am glad it was helpful!
Thank you. My daughter was looking for one like this & I’m not a seamstress but I can hold a needle. Took me a while but I think it came out good. 👌🏾🤗🌹
Wonderful, I am happy to have helped.
Sarah Yoang 🌹🙏🏾
Great job! Thank you for keeping our seniors safe! Patty RN
Many thanks for your clear tutorial, thanks to you pleat placement is no longer a mystery, I ordered some spandex to use instead of elastic, I cut it into 1/2" strips and stretch it then cut to size, more comfy than elastic and easily available. We wash our masks by hand then immerse in disinfectant for a wee while before drip drying. Keep well.
If you don't mind me asking, what kind of disinfectant do you use for your masks?
Stay healthy
@@SarahYoang Hi Sarah, I live in Scotland and the main disinfectants here are Zaflora (going since the 1920's) and Dettol, the kind that you just put a capful in about 3 pints of water. I sew craft wire inside the top edge of the masks using my zipper foot to encase the wire before I topstitch or fold the pleats, so far folks are happy with them. Your pleat placement is genius. As I have sewn craft wire into them they would come out of the washing machine as we say "like a dogs hind leg" bent and distorted so I just hand wash then disinfect them to kill any germs or virus. Hope this helps, thankyou so much. Keep well, Anne
Every time I measured from the ruler, pleats don't come out even. This is the best way, thanks for your kind video..
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching
Great video. Easy to make. Can’t wait to try it. Great Job.
Gloria MillsBattle thank you so much!
I have been trying to stitch face masks at home and I wasnt getting the edges neatly ( I followed another video which was" relatively easy" ) but your method has given me an eureka moment and cant wait for day break so that I can try your method of stitching the mask !!!
Very Good Way to make a Reliable Mask, Thank You.
Thank you, I am happy you enjoyed it
I used headbands and they were perfect.
This is actually quick and easy and if you don't mind that you can only wear it on the correct side this would be perfect.
Thank You
That was best video so easy to follow showing us every detail and explaining it slowly thank you for sharing
Theresa Rogers g
Thank you! You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this easy face mask. Soft baby hair bands on the way from Amazon.
I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining, but it would be so helpful if you could include putting the mask on and show us how it fits. :)
Ii think this might struggle to fit your fat gob.
I am making them with plain fabric on the backside so there is no mistake which side goes towards the face, especially with the elderly who might have a hard time seeing. I also put in nose wires which helps keep eyeglasses from fogging up.
Very well done!🤗you're so nice,lovely voice👍🏼⚘
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for your wonderful video! So very caring! God bless you!
Thank you, very easy to make. Cheers!!!!
I am happy you enjoyed the video!
I bought a pair of panty hose for $1 at a dollar store and it worked great. I was able to make many ear bands out of them!
We used, headbands, elastic, hair ties, and when we ran out of all that. I remembered we we had 4 stretch fabric. I had alot when I made swim suits. Well thats what we have been using and it is so Comfortable dont even feel them on the ears. Just i thought I would share that if anyone reads this.
Crislove2x that’s wonderful! Thank you for your comment!
Very easy pleating method- thanks for that. Now that is has been a few months, how have the headbands holding up? I used them on a mask for my elder mother and they seemed to have stretched out just enough that the mask no longer fits snuggly. I do have a neck piece on the back so I am wondering if that is causing her to overstretch it to get it over her head or if the headbands are just prone to eventually get stretched out.
Mine have held up fine, However I did purchase two different nylon bands and the color bands seem to be more stretchy and they do loose the elasticity over time. The thicker nylon band I used in this video has held up well.
This is the best video on pleated face masks! Thank you!
Very nice tutorial and very easy method
Thank you! I am happy it was helpful
Thank you so much for making of a mask presentation, Love it.
You can cut tshirts to make the ear loops. The size if strip you use depends on how thick your tshirt is. I made 1/2 inch strips. After the strip is cut, you pull it and it rolls up. It will look like the loops that she used in this video. Just another idea if you can't find elastic
What size is the fabric once it is folded. I don’t understand how to fold it. I love the ease you make the pleats.
Sorry for the late reply... The fabric once folded should measure 8 inches by 7 inches
Very smart anď easy to make .thanks
Thanks for watching!
i just ordered 60 headbands and this is helpful thanks
Simple and fast and still perfect. I can't wait!!! I am s-o-o-o-o hyped now! Please excuse.

Thank you. Great way for my pleats. 🧵✂️😁
wonderful! happy to help
So helpful,very clear to the point
I am glad to hear that!
This is the easiest and simplest video on how to create even pleats, I struggle with that on each mask I make, not anymore.
Kay, wohoo! I am so happy to hear that! It is very humbling to know that my video is helping!
Excellent video , super easy, Im just a little confused as to weather or not the larger crease is top or bottom.
The larger pleat firs best over the nose, so I would consider that to be the top
Explain Very well, thank you.
I am so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this simple to follow tutorial. Your very easy to listen to. Can you give me the link to the baby headbands you purchased from amazon? I ordered a pack but they appear to be much smaller then the ones you suggested in your video. Thank you for your time.
Thank you so much I was having problems with the pleating!
Glad I could help!
thank you for a easy tutorial. I have made one now this arvo I will make more. At least I can go down the street now
That's great! Thank you for watching
Well well well look who's making masks now........."This Guy" 🌮🌮🌯
I would have liked to see it on you. When you wear it , are the pleats facing downwards? Nice pattern!
Yes! The pleats on the outside will point down like roof shingles
First pleated video I could watch all the way through. Everyone making masks, please make the pattern bigger for a few. I am not a factory diyer but it's getting there because sooo many people have big faces. Hem a loop on the ends so you can string an elastic shoe lace kit through it and boom adjustable over the head securing. Anyone that has newer style hearing aids will need this. Which is why all my masks go out with ear loops and the head strap, then they can choose and cut off what they don't like.
Chicken Strips, yes, you have a very good point about making the masks bigger, especially if you are using elastic. Even with the nylon bands I used I had noticed that some of our senior residents couldn’t fit into them. It helped to add an inch to the width of the mask as well.
Thank you for joining the fight by making masks!
Hello. I just so happened used panty hose because I could not find elastic & it works wonders. All I did was cut it into 2-inch rings. Then I stretched it. Don’t cut the rings open. Just lay your rings on then sew the material sealed. Don’t sew the rings!! Just the material. 😄. I’ve used
panty hose for three masks. I did find large, black pony tail bands for a previous project. It works great. I also made face masks using t shrt material and I cut two strips for ties. Make sure to cut East to West - it stretches more then if you cut North to South. Hope makes sense.
Nori Hashimura that is very clever to keep them in a loop and not cut them!
what a great video! I've watched so many on UA-cam and this was the best and easiest to follow! :) thank you! what size would you recommend for the fabric for a 2-year old?
Dana Lott I have another tutorial just for the children sizes and it includes a filter pocket:
ua-cam.com/video/6p7w604h9d8/v-deo.html
The measurements for this child’s mask fits my two year old, and with the super stretchy nylon bands it should fit up to a 10 year old
Thanks or your prompt answer .. I do understand your point ... some masks after we follow through the construction... fit horribly.. some people add the finish product on their face , model , etc and you can see how they fit 🙏
Beautiful pleated face mask now I know how to make a pleated face mask
Great job explaining how to make!
I have also used tshirt material cut on bias which works well and more comfortable than the elastic. I also used simple bias tape (make your own), or purchased.
I am in the process of making 85 masks for a nursing home. I use 1 " stripes of tee shirt, with a slip knot.
You are wonderful! Thank you for helping your community!
Thanks for this mask pattern. I bought the baby headbands as you suggested but mine don’t seem to be as long as yours. Are there several sizes? Thanks
I am not sure if there are different sizes. I am sure there are though. Did you happen to use them any way? How did it work out?
what a lovely caring video thank you so much
You are so kind! Thank you for watching
