I like this mask style very much. Of course everyone tweeks a little to fit the user’s face. My tweek was requested by my son. I added 3 2” vertical wires, 1” apart at the mouth. I made 3 very slits at top of mouth, slide in the wires, then sewed each closed. Made the mask day after you submitted this mask. It fits my son’s face and keeps the material away from his mouth. He has worn it every day since. It holds it fit well. Only issue is he has to wash by hand rather than the washer because of the wires. I enjoy your videos. You present the material very well. Thank you.
I made this today. Very easy to follow instructions. Used a sewing machine for the first time today too. The size I made was too small, but I'll try again.
@@timothytotten9409 It was, genuinely (had music playing too). After this sewing adventure, I now have the confidence to attempt to fix my Marimekko comforter that I put in the closet months ago. Thanks, Timothy! Happy New Year!
Hopefully when this is behind us we will remember to wear a mask when we have a cold or feeling less than 100% ; I think it could go a long way to help with the spread of germs
You do understand that the human body needs germs and bacteria to survive don't you? How on earth do you think your immune system evolves, you are not born with one.?
@@alandavidge1273 that's the reason they have blagged the fools keep cleaning hands with anti bacterial. The sheep are thicker than sheep and they not that bright.
I made this mask this evening. I find that I like my masks 'larger' for comfort as long as they fit snug to my face. Anyway, I tweaked it a tad bit...by tucking in the upper corners where the elastic goes to keep the corners from being to high on the face. I also added a nose piece by sewing in a matching piece on the 'front' side. I like the wrong side out and I used a 10.5 x 11.5 inch piece and added a piece of filter material (polypropylene) of the same size sandwiched between the two pieces of fabric. I have made hundreds of masks and I have to say this is one of my favorites. It reminds me of the old pandemic masks you see in photographs...but it is super comfortable, sits far enough away from the mouth that you can easily breath. I wish I could post a photograph of how nice it looks. Will definitely make many more of this mask.
@@betsyforth6924 - Yes. I should have been more clear. The mask size I made is 10.5 by 11.5. I then cut a piece of fabric about 2" by 4 or 5"....sewed it together leaving one end open then turned it inside out. Stuck the nose piece in, tucked in the unsewn end and then placed it at the top of the 'right' side and sewed in on all the way around.
I agree that the mask needs to be a little larger. I made a 10x10 (layer cake size) and still wanted the fit closer to the ears. I did not add any additional fabric for the nosepiece. I simply sewed two parallel lines at the top to slide the piece in between. Since the aluminum strips from the big A have been getting thinner, I use two glued together so don’t worry about breaking/replacement. To get the extra side fabric away from the eyes, like you, I also pleated it into itself (making a v) before I sewed on the elastic. I only like it turned inside out. It felt too flat as sewn. All in all, with some tweaks this is a good pattern. It is much faster then the 3D I have been making (I will look up and post the author, it’s in Spanish I think). Since I always use interfacing, adding it will take a little extra time. Not sure I’m ready to give up on my 3D because it has half circle cut outs to get a peak for the nose, less bulk near the eyes, and I can get 16 outer fabrics from one yard. My 3D is from ua-cam.com/video/s5NCeTet7mE/v-deo.html and for the sewing hints ua-cam.com/video/0AzeR7QCbQg/v-deo.html.
Your tutorials are so much easier to follow than the other ones I’ve watched. THANK YOU. Plus, I feel like we are friends or something. You’re terrific.
Thank you thank you! I’ve made so many masks but this pattern has been the easiest. Your instructions were easy to follow, I made two masks in less than half hour. Again thank you best to you in the new year. Gloria
Great mask design, I subscribed too! Last year I learned to sew on a machine and made 50+ pleated fabric masks for friends and family so now I'm ready for new patterns, thank you!🌷
Looks cool, I have started to sew a little twill fabric tape on the nose area and leave an opening to insert wire that I can easily remove before hand washing. Will try this design, love that it can be worn both ways.
I saw this a couple of weeks ago and got busy. I sewed a dozen with the long side a the top and a week later another dozen mistakenly using the short side as the top. They fit differently. The short side as top came too high around the eyes. I can’t tell from your instructions which was your preferred way. I also put nose wire in before sewing up the opening for turning. Then I sewed all around sewing the nose wire securely in place. My son loved the design but wanted a larger one, 10.5/ 11.5. He loves that there is much less glass fogging. Keep up the videos. Your steps are clear.
I’m a fan too! It’s got a very geometric nature, so it’s kinda pointy. Foe the next one of these, I’m going to use some stabilizer to keep the lines of the mask crisp.
Thank you for this easy, easy attractive mask! I do a couple of things differently: I sew across one side & then stick down the nose piece on the inside of the top, turn the fabric & stitch around the nose piece. Then sew around all the edges leaving an opening & turn inside out & stitch around the whole thing. One other thing: I have a small face so I reverse the top and bottom; the smaller pouch fits my nose better!
Timothy, thank you for this tutorial.... very easy, and love the fit and design... Made 3 since yesterday.... and thank you for all your time... I just somehow found your page here on UA-cam.. and wow, I'm so happy I did... love your way of teaching us... Jon
Thanks,Timothy......New to your vids and an amateur sewer......making the masks for the Family. Like the larger breathing area of this one. Hope your New Year is great.❣️🤗❣️🤗❣️
I just made this one and funny thing made it out of Xmas green plaid fabric!!! Great fit and your directions are so easy to follow.Thanks for another great video. Your the best.
Thank you. I really enjoyed your tutorial on this mask. I am going to make some because I have so much material just boxed up. I don't quilt any more, so this might give me some inspiration.
Thank you so much Timothy I really really enjoyed watching you create this very very clever mask. I really really love ❤️ when you turned it around and it was two toned. I really really like having a channel for the elastic, so maybe you could create the same thing but with channels, it would be really awesome. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You should do a rating video for every mask design you made - pros and cons... would really help us out in choosing what to make :) Like : Best design for glasses Best design for beard Best design for ease of sewing Best 3D mask And so on.... Really Think it would make a great video to help us through the rest of this pandemic!!
@@timothytotten9409 ooooo .. it could be the Awards Show for Best Mask Design! lol .. and then pick for the different categories .. and the Oscar goes to ... heehee
I'm on a budget. I'm using fat quarters to make masks and want to use as much fabric as possible without waste, and find a pattern for a mask that won't fog my glasses. This pattern is perfect!
Thank you for this video! I just got back into mask making after a long hiatus, and thought I would check UA-cam for something new, and this is it. I’ve now made 5 of them 😃
I’ve made a bunch of these now and my friends/family love them. Very breathable, great for glasses, and so freaking easy to make! Thank you thank you thank you! ALSO: if you have a serger, just serge those initial edges wrong sides together and skip the step of flipping right side out and top-stitching.
Hi! This mask was pretty easy! Made one for me, and one for a good friend who also wears glasses. I have a request for a video that shows how to make pot holders...I find your explanations are very easy to follow! Thanks for your consideration!!
I haven't sewn it yet but I want to thank you for clear instructions. Details make the difference. Thank you so much. Looking forward wearing this mask design.
Discovering your channel has been the highlight of this past week. 💜 probably going to try the one with the dish template first. But this is going in the mix. Keep crafting, you’re awesome!
Just found your site. I too watched the other video with the music in the background. I switched it off and found you. You are a natural teacher. Thank you for sharing. BTW I have subscribed to your channel and hope to enjoy more of your work.
This one is very similar to the one I make. I first saw orangedot do it, I use interfacing instead of batting as she did, but pretty close. When you make a lot of them simplicity is key...luv ya thanx
Mahalo Timothy for sharing your work! I love that it's a 3D reversible. I also loved how you presented it making super easy to follow. I can see you not only have passion for sewing but also enthusiasm for your work. Never change, you are beautiful!!!~~cc
I developed a mask pattern that uses rectangles cut on the bias. I flip the top down a little and pinch in the sides. It fits great, measurements are easy, and the bias-cut fabric stays in place much better, especially with elastic that goes behind the head. I’ve tried it on all sorts of face shapes and nose lengths, and everyone reports great fit.
I look forward to trying this 3D mask. I may try it as an extra a layer on top of my surgical disposable mask to help keep the corners of the surgical mask close to my face. I will report back. Thank you. Dorothy uk
I just received the beautiful laser template for the 3D mask! It’s fabulous and came so quickly! Thank you so much! I make dog Bandanas for a rescue group and sure would have loved to have laser templates for them! Beautiful work! Thanks again! Happy New Year!
I like the facts that we can get 2 different looks in a mask! Yaaay, I can play with my scrap fabrics ❤️ Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year with new bunch of fabrics!! ❤️
Is a very pretty mask is a new stile different at others i like the two ways for use and i like the way you show to iron with the piece of wood that's great idea 👍👏💪
You used the geometric so you can see if anything went crooked? I avoid such regular geometrics, and too-regular polka dots - so it won't be obvious when I inevitably do go crooked! And I've been sewing carefully for over 60 years! 😄
This is my first time seeing one of your videos and I am immensely impressed! You are such a great teacher because details matter. And your upbeat personality put the icing on the cake. Thanks so much and I am looking forward to making this mask and checking out your other videos. I give this video a 5 out of 5 stars.
Blessed and Merry Christmas to you and yours, Tim! Can’t get together with the family this year, so I’m spending Christmas grooming the dog and making masks - your patterns are fun!
Hello Mr Totten good morning from beautiful sunshine Barbados. I made two of your mask, I would love to send it to you to see since I 'm a first time learner. I am now watching this one here and would try to get me some fabric ... Thanks for sharing. My name is Hyacinth 😰...
You might like to make one in a size smaller and compare the fit. I like this particular pattern to fit really snug on the cheeks, chin and bridge of nose. I find that reduces fog on my glasses and also causes the centre front to "pop forward" giving more breathing space in front of the mouth and nostrils.
I really like this design. I'm going to make a few for kids I deal with and get them to decorate them. I'll also make a few and draw animal snouts on them, maybe a few clown ish smiles
Check the sizing before you start. I wear an XL but the medium isn’t much smaller and the person I made the medium for really needed a small. You can also adjust your seam allowance from 1/4 to 3/8 and adjust sizing down a bit that way too.
tim could you compare and show the different masks you've made they've been awesome and would like to know your thoughts on each one and show them as you rate them. please. happy new year and i enjoy your videos so much. still trying to decide a mask that don't fog up the glasses. thanks again
BARBARA CUMMISKEY I have made three styles of masks. My most favorite is a version of this one. For all of them I find that adding a nose wire to the mask eliminates the fogging of glasses. Good luck.
Thanks for this video! I tried it out. It is a tight fit on my face. I'm a smaller adult. I used the 7.5 x 8.5. The inner dimension turned out about 6" which is the exact measure of the bridge of my nose to my chin. So I recommend you measure your face carefully and tailor the mask accordingly.
I just found you today and glad I did. I see you have made many styles of masks and made videos to go with them. At this point in time, which of the many styles you have made is your favorite?
Hi TiM, I am a physician sewer from Canada. I have prototyped a lot of masks. I liked the look of your mask so I watched your video. CBC ( Canada's NPR) has a program called Marketplace. They did an episode on homemade masks and they compared various masks. The best ones were 2 layers of finely woven cotton, with an interlining of polypropylene, a nose wire and a good fit. It rivalled the N95 mask that we health care providers use in proven Covid situations. The other 3D mask video I watched made a critical mistake and has 2 sewn pleats across the front of the mask. This makes holes in the mask and the Covid virus is 1/1000th the width of a human hair. So I don't do the sewn pleats.
I like this; I'm partial to masks that don't 'breathe in and out' on me. This one doesn't. I might give this a try. Thanks. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES! : )
Hi do you think that you could make a written step by step of your mask making? This would be so helpful for those of us that can print and use away from the computer. I appreciate so much your videos, I am making masks for my local doctors and hospital staff. They are so appreciative and I of them. Thanks in advance!
This is so great!!! I struggle with cutting from patterns and having the different pieces the same size. Plus everything is always too small for my fat face. Thank you!!!
Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos! So happy to have found you. Love your straightforward explanations and easy style. I would like to know what kind of marker did you use to mark your fabric. Thanks so much!
New to your channel (subscribed 👍😉). So glad to have come across this super simple, no measurements design as I'm teaching myself to machine sew 😓. Looking forward to watching all your videos and learning more from you! Cheers from Ontario, Canada 😊🇨🇦
Merry Christmas to you Timothy from Malaysia. May God bless you always. I’ve done the SUPER-EASY 3D mask and loving it and will give this a try. Thank you.

Thanks for this video! I tried it out. It is a tight fit on my face. I'm a smaller adult. I used the 7.5 x 8.5. The inner dimension turned out about 6" which is the exact measure of the bridge of my nose to my chin. So I recommend you measure your face carefully and tailor the mask accordingly.
I just found you today and glad I did. I see you have made many styles of masks and made videos to go with them. At this point in time, which of the many styles you have made is your favorite?
thank you for presenting this design.
Hi TiM, I am a physician sewer from Canada. I have prototyped a lot of masks. I liked the look of your mask so I watched your video.
CBC ( Canada's NPR) has a program called Marketplace. They did an episode on homemade masks and they compared various masks. The best ones were 2 layers of finely woven cotton, with an interlining of polypropylene, a nose wire and a good fit. It rivalled the N95 mask that we health care providers use in proven Covid situations.
The other 3D mask video I watched made a critical mistake and has 2 sewn pleats across the front of the mask. This makes holes in the mask and the Covid virus is 1/1000th the width of a human hair. So I don't do the sewn pleats.
Merry Christmas 🎄 Timothy! Great looking mask. Thanks for your time and tutorial. Have a great day tomorrow!
I like this; I'm partial to masks that don't 'breathe in and out' on me. This one doesn't. I might give this a try. Thanks. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES! : )
Hi do you think that you could make a written step by step of your mask making? This would be so helpful for those of us that can print and use away from the computer. I appreciate so much your videos, I am making masks for my local doctors and hospital staff. They are so appreciative and I of them. Thanks in advance!
Good voice and no annoying music!
This is so great!!! I struggle with cutting from patterns and having the different pieces the same size. Plus everything is always too small for my fat face. Thank you!!!
say hello to Sophia! I plan to make one of these with my Frank Llloyd Wright fabric. :-)
Tfs another great mask video! 😷 Merry Christmas 🎅🎄
Merry Xmas, my BFF. I love, love, love the kitty fabric and you’re the ginchiest, too, Moondoggy.
This was really helpful and you are so enjoyable!
Sweetie thanks for sharing you explained sooo good!!😊
Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos! So happy to have found you. Love your straightforward explanations and easy style. I would like to know what kind of marker did you use to mark your fabric. Thanks so much!
Great looking and easy. Thank you for all of your wonderful tutorials. Happy holidays to you.
New to your channel (subscribed 👍😉). So glad to have come across this super simple, no measurements design as I'm teaching myself to machine sew 😓. Looking forward to watching all your videos and learning more from you!
Cheers from Ontario, Canada 😊🇨🇦
Merry Christmas to you Timothy from Malaysia. May God bless you always. I’ve done the SUPER-EASY 3D mask and loving it and will give this a try. Thank you.
