DIY Face Mask with Elastic: • How to SEW a Medical F...
SUPPLIES:
2 pieces 100% cotton fabric 6" x 9" (You can also cut up old 100% cotton t-shirts!)
1 piece 100% cotton fabric for lining 6" x 9"
4 fabric strips 1-1/2" x 18"
ALTERNATE SIZES:
Kids: make fabric 5" x 7"
Adult female: 6" x 9"
Adult Male: 7" x 9"
Tip: Make sure not to sew over the loose end of the tie as you sew around the mask.
OPTIONAL: To make the nose are a fit better you can sew a wire ribbon, pipe cleaner, or baggie tie to the lining piece before sewing all three layers together and it would work nicely :)
** Masks are re-usable, but must be sanitized before/after each use! **
* Use tightly woven cotton fabric, or hospital grade material.
* Keep in mind men and women will be wearing the masks when choosing fabric for mask that will be donated.
* Contact local health facilities to see if they are in need of donations.
Currently, the supply of surgical masks is at a critical all-time low throughout the entire nation. As a community of crafters, this is a great way we can band together and make a huge difference in this time of need!
While handmade fabric face masks are NOT a substitution for N95 masks, you can read more from the CDC here on the use of homemade masks here:
www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-...
In addition to helping medical staff during critical shortages, these masks can be used at home as well. While wearing homemade face masks will not prevent against catching a respiratory illness, if worn by someone who is sick they can help reduce the spread of large particles when they sneeze or cough.

Great video. Just what I needed. Negative comments were ridiculous and not helpful. This lady did a good job and should receive lots of credit. Why are people so negative? Get. Life!!!
I am a new sewer. I have been watching mask making videos for the past two weeks. Yours is by far the best. Thank you very much. Stay safe everyone.
I looked at maybe 7 different tutorials and yours is by far the best and easiest to follow. Super clear. I will definitely be doing this tomorrow, THANK YOU!
WONDERFUL! Thank you, Erica! This solves many problems related to sizing (elastic too short or not long enough) as well as washing (I've heard - not a known fact - that standard elastic may have difficulty keeping up with the sanitizing). And - as we have all pretty much wiped out every craft store in the US for elastic - this is timely and awesome!
I thought the fabric dimensions were a little small. My first mask came out child size. After that I started doing 8x9 to give me a little more play in the pleating and sewing shut.
I’ve watched a bazillion tutorials, and yours is the one I’m going with. Thank you!
You are my favorite instructor. You know the principles, value the importance of ironing before sewing and you are clear in your instructions. Thank you!
I made nearly 80 masks using your first video and donated it to hospitals for their doctors. Thanks for your video.
This is exactly what my nurse daughter was asking for. I'll be sewing them now. Thank you!
Joceil Southward Great idea. Thank you for replying.
Cool
I just bought a Brother SE625 yesterday after watching this tutorial the night before and I completed my first mask and it was a success! Thank you!! we hope to pump out 50 or so in the next few days and get to our local hospital. Thank you, Erica!! You are the best!!! I wish I could share a pic.
I've watched several videos on how to make face masks and your instruction is by far the simplest method and nicest style. To save time, I used clothesline cords and lanyards that I had around the house for the ties. When I used everything I could find around my house, I bought several packages of shoelaces from the 99 cents store. Just another option for the ties. I am not much of a seamstress, but with your instruction, my face masks came out awesome. Giving them to my friends and the local fire station.
I am a new to using a sewing machine and sewing. I have to say that you are by far the best teacher for me. Your videos are instructional and help me as a visual learner. Thanks so much. You have lessened my intimidation of sewing significantly.
When I first started sewing face masks for people in my dept. at the hospital about a month ago, I looked for a tutorial that looked fairly easy. Yours was the best for my needs. I am churning these out as fast as I can with working full-time and working toward my bachelors degree. Only charging for the material to make them. I'm exhausted but have to say, I've rediscovered my love of sewing which had went by the wayside for a few years and am also learning different sewing habits/tips/hacks with each new mask I make. Thanks!
I just want to say thank you. I'm genuinely grateful to you for putting this out there to help us during this challenging time.
I brought home a sewing machine ( Singer circa 1982 ) from the dump a few years ago. I took a basic class and made a pillow two years ago. This is the first time since I've used the machine and even I managed to make a mask following this video! I think I even gained some confidence doing this. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm a very beginner with my sewing machine (that I bought 2 years ago and haven't really used since!), and I was able to make my first mask today after confirming the fabric I have will work well. I'll be sewing them for lots of my family and friends now! So grateful for your video. Thanks again.
This was so very helpful especially for someone with limited sewing experience. Thank you!
I’ve been scouring UA-cam for the mask pattern I want to make and this one is perfect! You give really clear, easy directions, your mask looks amazing, non-complicated, and time efficient. I enjoyed the tutorial! Looking forward to watching you more! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and kindness! I’m going to be adding a slot to the inside for a pocket.. and making for my loved ones as well as my best friend’s hospice unit, they are desperately low on PPE. Hope you and yours stay healthy!
Next I’m gonna try the vinyl zipper pouch!!!😍
Thanks for the clear and easy demonstration of these masks. And cute at that!
Put it on!!🥳🥳🥳
It would be nice to see the finished product on to get an idea of what we’ll be lookin like lol
Great tutorial. Erica demonstrates with cloth straps instead of elastic, which is great. Many people ask for cloth straps instead of elastic. She does a good job of showing how to finish the masks.
I made a couple from another tutorial and thought there has to be an easier way....and then I found yours. So much easier, and it just looks better. I had bias tape and used that for straps. Thanks for the great visual and instructions!
One of the best tutorials I have watched. Thank You!!!
LOVE THE COLOR COMBINATION !!! Could you PLEASE show one on your face after making one ? We need to see how it fits on you with the measurments used , It should cover the face especially the sides and the nose area. Your instructions are the BEST. THANK YOU ERICA.
Short and sweet and to the point without all the extra gab. Thank you for the video.
Erica - Thank you so much for your tutorials. I made about 30 masks with elastic ties using your earlier video but used up all my elastic. I was so thrilled when I searched for "masks with ties" and your second video came up first on the list. 💚💚💚 and thank you too for the pdf. A friend asked about making a mask for her daughter so I'm thrilled that you've saved me tons of time on this one as well.
Thank you so much, I think this design is great, three layered plus foldings and no elastic, truly useful and easy to follow.
thank you for sharing and help us be safe. not everybody has the option to do home office and thus is mandatory to go outside for certain thins. this for sure helps a lot. even those taking care of someone ill at home.
Thank you, dear! I called our local hospital and was told with great gratitude that yes, please, they would LOVE mask donations, so I'm sewing away. Wasn't sure how long to make ties (I don't have any elastic at the moment), so your pattern answered that question for me. Thanks so much, and stay healthy and safe!
I made my first couple of face mask this evening using your pattern and tutorial, they came out awesome. I live in the Texas Medical Center and among the 20 - plus Hospitals, their are begging for mask. Thank you very, very much for your help and sharing your pattern,
Thank you for this great tutorial!!!! You're description and instructions are very helpful. I feel confident that I can make masks for my husband who works in a grocery warehouse. Blessings from Oregon.
Another Oregonian!!! Yippee. WE live outside of Portland OR in a small town just down from the Mt Hood hwy 26 area. Love our OREGON!
thank you for providing this tutorial. I'm going to go home from work this evening and sew these up to give to my coworkers and family members. Was specifically looking for fabric strap details since my elastic supply is limited and apparently it's hard to get more with all of us home sewists trying to make these :)
Try t-shirt yarn for straps!
It’s sad that we have to be doing this, but it’s nice to know there’s good people out there who know how to do it and will gladly share their talents. Thanks!
I don't have elastic, so I made the ties. My first one came out great because your instructions were spot on. I'm going to make more now that I've got the hang of it. Thank you Erica!!
Love this version as well. Tie straps might be more comfortable for those that need to wear for long periods of time. Thanks Erica.
Thanks Erica. Your instructions for this mask and the elastic version are the best I’ve been able to find. Very easy to follow your good instructions! Great job!
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve been making these masks for friends and for the shelters in our city. I’m not a seamstress ,this is great.
Was struggling w/elastic, so this was very helpful!
Thanks, Erica for a great tutorial. I appreciate that you don’t talk down to folks. I’m new to sewing, and I feel like I’m a master. (Smile) I love your upbeat presentation and that you show and tell how to sew stitches and work with the fabric.
Thank you for the tutorial. I've made and donated just about 300 hundred mask for family and friends, friends who have businesses for their employees. I love your pink iron!
This video was so easy to understand and follow! Thank you for making it available to the public and for being such a great teacher! Be well! Blessings!
Just want to say that this is the best tutorial I have seen plus I've printed out the pdf pattern for reference. Thank You.♥
You're amazing, thank you for helping so many people with this!!
Erica thank you so very much for the video! I can't wait for the next one!! Have a Bless Day be safe!!
Lots if videos out there. This is the best one!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I too, used your previous tutorial to make masks for family and friends. Just a FYI your UA-cam tutorial was the first one I went to. You do a Great Job !!!
Thank you, Erica
I am going to use ribbon.1/8 inch.
I lack your manual dexterity so I have added a couple steps. I sew my straps on before I put the lining on (the straps don't shift on me) and then sew the lining on before I turn it. They are coming out beautifully! Thank you so much! beth
Seen a lot of patterns, but I liked yours for the fabric ties. Thank you! They turned out perfectly.
Great tutorial! I made a couple of these today. Very quick and easy. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
This is the best mask pattern!!! I have made a couple of hundred so far, everyone loves them. They really appreciate having the ties over elastic. Making another batch this evening. Thank you very much for the tutorial and pattern!!!
Your video was the best I've seen. Thank you for your easy visual directions.
So helpful, thank you, elastic is hard to find right now, I'm also using t-shirt type headbands, but the straps looks cleaner
Thank you for this tutorial! I've used both methods for mask making! I never thought in a million years that I would be using a sewing machine! Since I've never used an iron before, I've learned to adapt without using one! Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I am fairly new to sewing and I was able to make my sister a cute mask by following your video!!!
Thank you so much for your clear instructions and useful information! I love your cheerful fabrics.
i decided on Monday to start making masks. i watched 4-5 videos before deciding on yours. thank you for sharing this!
Best teacher of anyone on UA-cam! Thank you!!
love your video, it’s easy and straight to the point. I had it in my head how i wanted to do my masks but it was nice watching yours so i had a guideline. Much appreciate the video
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I finished my first mask and it came out good! I’m gonna make some for all my friends and family.
Thank you for this video. This is the best direction that I have received. So easy. I can complete the masks I am making with confidence now.
After watching your previous video I was inspired to make the masks to donate to my local hospitals. Until I went out for the supplies and quickly found out all the local stores totally ran out of elastics. Then you came to the rescue with this update. I had a bit of fabric leftover from each of the masks I cut (70 total) which will be perfect for the new version. Thanks for the new video and free patterns. Cheers!
I have heard that bungee cords have elastic in them.
@@evepaludan7713 I'll definitely give it a look and see if that's a viable option.
Great videos both that Ive seen from you in making masks. I wasnt able to find elastic but I found that using the ponytail elastic bands work great. I found them at the dollar tree and its just the right size just cut in half to make 2 of the same size. They are the large head wraps and come 12 in a pack.
I found your videos very easy to follow and appreciate that you have PDF written instructions. Thank you
Thank you..the instructions were very easy to follow. Making masks instead of candy for my grandchildren. Blessings to you at this most holy time of the year!
Thanks for helping this lockdown fun! Great video, easy to follow.
You have been a great help!! I have done 60# masks with elastic. Like everyone else no more elastic.
Thank you for great tutorials ❤️ Another way to achieve more masks.
Do you have any ideas for an easy pocket to place filter material inserts access in masks?
Thanks for posting this great instruction video! Because I wear glasses, my mask was making my glasses fog up. So I sewed in a pipe cleaner on one of the longer sides and it works! No more fog!
Thank you for this video! I am not a confident seamstress, and I was able to follow along with your directions successfully. Thank you!!
Excellent video! I ran out of elastic and am going to be using this as my guide! Many blessings.
Thank you so much for this tutorial and the PDF. I was struggling with some of the other designs and this one fits!
you are so LOVELY! And your style makes me so happy! Thank you!
Thanks! Looks easy enough. Looking forward to trying. All my fabric came today!
Erica, I made some masks recently for my DIL's best friend who is a nurse. Your pattern was similar but much quicker than mine. Thanks for the pattern and video!
Your colors are so cheerful!
I love this!! There is no where to buy comfortable elastic ties anymore shortages everywhere! Thanks for this tutorial!!
Best instructional video I've seen so far. Thank you
Erica you are AWESOME !!! Such great instructions. Thank you 💖
Erica, thanks for this video and pattern.....especially with the changes because elastic is hard to get or very expensive shipping. I used featherweight interface for the middle layer and my husband requested I add a piece of metal (paper clip or thick jewelry wire) to make it snug around the nose. Your instructions were easy to follow - appreciate it!
I watched both of your videos on making a mask, and found your video the best! Thank you very much!❤️
What an amazing tutorial! I grew up sewing but in recent years decided I didn't like it. Husband needs masks for work so back to the sewing machine I go. I loved your clips! I think it would make it more likely that I would sew. Beautiful video and very clear instructions. Thank you.
AWESOME tutorial!! Thanks so much for sharing. Super easy and quick to make. I used bias tape, which made it even quicker. Great way to use up all my remnants!
THANK YOU! This is so easy to follow!
I just made this, and it turned out great. Thanks so much for sharing!
Very helpful! You were clear and concise in your instructions.
Wonderful tutorial. :) I made some of these for my nurse friend and she said these are about a size small. (She is a size large.) I will just make her some bigger ones, adding 2" to both the height and width. She said the idea is the sides go to the sideburn/hairline area and then also from the bridge of her nose to about where your chin doesn't move when you talk. I also sealed two unused twist ties in some tape and made a "crimpable" nose thing so it can seal better at the bridge of the nose. I slipped it in before I pleated, then used my topstitch to block it in.
What a rockstar! Awesome video. Literally has everything I need!
Best one yet out there! Thank you! Easy peasy!
This was THE tutorial my daughter and I as beginning sewers, used to make masks to give to people who had none.
Thank you so much for this video. I have sewn so many masks for family members with elastic, and it is either too short, too long, breaks, or has some type of problem after multiple uses. Your fabrics are really cute, and the ties can be adjusted by the wearer for a custom fit.
Thank you sew much for this video! Helped me make my mom (a letter carrier) a mask!
My boyfriend loves this type of mask, I have made him a few and he always wears them, and I use a t shirt to make the ties!
Thank you Erica. I'm going to make some of these this afternoon. Seem a bit less time intensive than another pattern I tried.
I’m new to sewing, and your instructions were easy to follow. Thank you!
Angie S how do you skip so you can leave the opening she is talking about
This was easy to make. I also made some darts by my nose so it fits snugger. Thank you for the tutorial!!
My first one came out great!! Thanks for video
it’s very helpful! I def love the fabric ties!!
Hi Erica. I love your tutorials. I am a visual learner and your videos are just perfect!! THANKS!!
Thank you so much for showing how to do the ties!
This is a very good tutorial I've been looking for a good alternative to elastic mask since I can't find any elastic ANYWHERE! THANK YOU
Thank you Erica, I have used another video and your process is so much easier!!!
Thank you for this video- I recently tried your method and my masks came out great!
Looks great! Thank you for making this.
Thank you for posting the video with the tie ideas
