This fitted mask style is similar to the Olson style, but does not have a filter pocket, and I designed this one to tuck under the chin. In my other video I show how to make one mask, but if you are making lots of masks, there are faster ways to make it. Here I show how I've altered this pattern for a faster way to make these masks.
Rotary cutter basics here (skip ahead to 2:00 min in) : • Quilty: How to use a r...
Here are answers to some of the FAQ's. Please read before asking questions in the comments.
Nose Wire: I am no longer able to find the wire that I used for the nose bridge in this video, so I started using regular plastic covered twist ties that have a single wire, and I just put two in. Just search online for plastic covered twist tie. I've also heard of people using copper wire (won't rust), florist wire or pipe cleaners. You would want to bend the ends of those options though so they don't poke through.
If you follow the instructions in this video, you want to cut that 1/2" off of the part that goes by the ear. DO THIS WITH ALL PATTERN SIZES. The reason you want to cut 1/2" off the original pattern is because it was designed to have a sleeve that the elastic slides through. You can still do this if you follow the original instructions ( • DIY Fabric Face Mask -... ). This version removes that sleeve and the elastic is sew in instead.
The reason I am doing the elastic the way I do in this video is to make it adjustable. If you are making it for an unknown person, having it so they can adjust it makes for a much better fit. If you just sew a 6" or 7" bit of elastic around the ears and it's a tiny bit too loose and they go to tie a knot in it, it would shorten it by probably an inch on each side making it uncomfortably tight or so that it doesn't fit at all. So by doing this you are allowing for subtle adjustment so that the wearer can dial the fit in just right. That way it's more comfortable and less likely to bother their ears if they wear it all day.
This is the Rotary Cutter I'm using. It's the Olfa Ergonomic, which I feel I can get better leverage with than a straight kind. Also I recently changed my blade: olfa.com/craft/product/45mm-d...
If you need a size larger than the template, try printing it at 105% or 107%
Great tip from the comments section: use a lighter to quickly and lightly fuse the ends of the elastic instead of using fray check.
HCP have requested that you use a different fabric for the inside and outside of the mask. That way it is easy to tell quickly which side goes against the face.
Here are directories of hospitals and shelters looking for homemade fabric face mask donations:

Here is the original video with instructions on making one mask, and you can see what it looks like on at the end of this video:
• DIY Fabric Face Mask -...
One thing to keep in mind while making these, is that the goal it to get as many perfectly functional masks out as possible, to people who need them, as quickly as possible. So don't get too precious with them, or let your insecurities about your sewing abilities hold you back. They need to function, and looking good is nice too, but anything is better than nothing. As Kay says in this great video, "protection not perfection." • DIY Face Mask Tutorial...

I realize that it's better to work like you in "a chain" instead of sewing one completely and after that cut, sew, etc for an other one! Since tonight, I will work like you!! Thanks a million times!!

I've seen so many mask making videos. Enjoy yours by far, calm and easy voice, no music, sped up vid when needed. Pleasure and tips much appreciated. Thank you!
DiTto!!! Very good easy-to-follow tutorial
Where can I find the pattern?
Yes, what Lisa said. This is the fifth video on masks that I've viewed and the only one to give me the confidence to buy a machine and contribute.
Try watching her first video where she doesn’t sound bored and actually Likes what she’s doing.
I've made several of these, since they are by far the easiest, and everyone prefers this type. Thanks again for sharing!
Hi, I just want to say thank you so much for this tutorial... I’ve made 100 Christmas masks for a UK charity and raised £420. It was so much easier following your method and the feedback I’ve had has been awesome 😊xx
Exacty the method I used (Olson masks) to complete 100 masks for hospital workers! Except I cut out 4 - 6 masks at a time. Great Video
Just finished a big batch of Olson’s Mask and sent off to the hospital (St Luke’s Foundation, IA). This one takes more time cutting and sewing because it has a slot for changing filters.
Thank you for the tutorial, lists of who needs cloth masks, and patterns of different sizes. 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏
I love your video. I've been making masks since March to meet the needs of my customers, family, and friends. Your video is so clear, succinct and NICELY paced. You make it easy to follow along. Your instructions are so concise as your sewing demonstrates each step in your process. Thanks for putting such a fabulous resource together! Stay well!
This is the best face mask pattern I have used. I made masks for my whole family and three family members told me that people at their work were willing to pay me to make the masks for them. The fit is perfect. Thanks for the pattern and instructions.
I agree best fitting snug but not too tight
I love the idea of making a channel for the wire instead of what I've been doing - cutting a separate piece of fabric to encase the wire and stitching it on the inside of the mask. Your idea will save me tons of time. I'm making dozens of masks for family & friends. We live in a "mask required" state.
I’m making masks and I also treat them with ozone when I’m done. I use an CPAP cleaner which is an ozone generator and put the hose in a bag with masks inside. Easy to do and I saw a study on the effects of ozone and it doesn’t take much to disinfect something.
Watch those fingers- yes during the holidays I put a needle right through my thumb from a Juki walking foot.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've learned a couple of shortcuts to batch sew. I'm in the process of sewing masks to give to the homeless. We ALL need to do our part in caring for each other. God bless you
Nice work and so true! We all need to do our part to help each other out right now 💞
Thank you so much for this tutorial and pattern. I had to hand stitch one of these for myself using the kids-sized pattern so it fits right, as well as replaced the elastic with longer stretched cotton strings so it fits properly over my face and around my head scarf. Took me a whole day to do the stitching but I love it and it's really comfortable!
You are a delightful young lady! So pleasant, soft-spoken, concise, clear, ... thoughtful video design, great narration & important details. I have two batches of masks .. one for medical center& one for Joanne Fabric store. I bought 3 sewing machines for $65, another for $25 three weeks ago, all working, learning the finicky traits & remembering what my Mom taught me 53 years ago on her Necchi BU.
Yes I know to get this done, must do assembly line, get organized and get moving.
Med center wants rectangles, no nose strip. No thin elastic anywhere, found 3” knit elastic which does no fray when cut lengthwise. My friend Amy has 86 done, 30 cut. Me. Large pile of ... plus 6 of my own design.
Awesome video.
Thanks!
Christopher Ian where did you buy your sewing machines?

Great suggestions to use twist ties for nose bridge. I am a front line responder who is sewing for my at risk neighbors. 💕
Literally the only mask that I can go all day in comfortably. Thank you so much for making this pattern🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this! Your demonstrations and explanations are wonderful. I've made about a hundred masks to give away to family, co-workers, friends, family of co-workers, friends of co-workers etc and I've used a few different patterns and followed a few tutorials. Your video is so helpful because it's so clear and concise and delivered at just the right speed. Good luck with your aging sewing machine; I realized that mine is just over thirty years old and I'm definitely going to be shopping for a new one as soon as it's feasible!
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve watched several videos explaining how to sew masks. You explained how to cut and sew it. Very detailed.. Your so awesome to help and donate too ❤️ You have a new subscriber can’t wait to see what comes next!
instablaster.
Oh So Professional and you just talk us through the whole process. Thank you.
Very helpful! I'm not as fast as you, but I'm much more confident and consistent in my mask production now. I've watched many mask making how to videos - this is one of my favorites. Thank you very much!!
I've done hundreds of masks, mostly pleated, always trying different fitted designs to find one I like. I made a few of these yesterday. I do my ends and elastic a bit different but LOVE the fit! And they are so quick!
I watched over 20 mask making videos, yours is one of the best. well done. 👍👍👍
Thanks Vincent
I have a new machine still does what yours does not sure why I haven't been sewing for that long I always thought I was doing very nicely done looks great much love from Cali.
After trying a few patterns, this is the one I'm going with. I used the regular size pattern for myself and then resized the pattern on my printer to suit my 8 year old (resized at 80%) and 10 year old (resized at 90%) as well, and they fit perfectly. Thanks so much for this - great tutorial.
Love this pattern. It molds well and feels good. The large size seems great for all adult females. I’ve been ironing interface on inner pieces only for summer. Making them 3 layers. For fall/ winter will iron interface on both inner and outer layers for extra protection. Both ways make the fabric “sit “ better, yet it’s still breathable. Adding a little length one can either make a loop for ear pieces or fold over and sew in the pieces.
Super stylish mask

What is best to use for nose piece in face mask?
Nose Bridge For Mask With Self-Adhesive:Link：www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087P36T48
Love them or hate them, masks are currently a necessity. And since we love to sew, why not make your own masks? Or make them for gifts or even to donate. And the best masks aren’t just fabric and elastic, but rather they include a metal nose bridge for a better seal. Better seals keep more droplets out, and they also keep your glasses from fogging up.
Thank you! This was very helpful, especially trying to figure out best way to insert metal nose bridge.
Glad it helped!
I love the way you organized this and got so many done at once. Awesome strategy!
Thank you. I love the chain stitching and how neatly your completed mask looks. Thanks for this tutorial.
Outlander series is a great book to listen to. Davina Porter is the narrator and she’s amazing.
I love how to show all detail nice and slow so people can understand.
Thanks so much for such a clear, concise way of sewing a bunch of masks at once!
BRILLIANT!!! What a fantastic video and great tips on the nose wire and knotting the elastic!
I have been rejuvenated and ready to get back into mask making after a month off!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and pattern❣️
these are so cute! i’ve been doing mine with pleats and a pocket on the inside for a filter if wanted, but i’ve quickly realized, (after mask number 50), that it’s a lot more tedious to do it that way so i think i’ll switch over and try this method and see if i can get them done a little quicker
laura smith The reason why I love this pattern is because there isn’t a pleat. However I did put a vertical opening in the back for filters.
I have watched hundreds of videos in my attempt to mass produce these masks for my community. Your tips are a life saver! BEST TUTORIAL I've watched!! Thank You!
One of the best explained videos on masks I've seen. Thank you
Thank you so much for providing the pattern. I had a hard time finding this type of pattern for free. I was getting frustrated just finding a free template to make for my family and friends. Your video was very informative and useful. Will be making some now.
That template is available from so many different people and it's free
A chopstick is what I use to push the corners out. Works like a charm!
Chopsticks are one of my favorite free sewing tools!
@@kellywilliams529 I don't do a lot of free sewing, but they're definitely one of my favorite tools bc they're so useful.
The kind I use are cooking chopsticks (they're like regular ones but longer). I keep a set at my sewing table so I always have one in reach when I need it!
These are the kind I use. They're really handy to cook with too!

Hi, love your video, as i looked at many mask videos and yours was the best, especially the new way of adding the elastic between the front and back pieces of fabric in the beginning of sewing construction. Now i love to make masks and making four sizes. Thanks again. Barbie
This is going to save me so much time! Thank you for sharing such a detailed and thorough tutorial. I will be adopting several of your techniques to improve my existing mask pattern.
Outlander is amazing!!! I love the books so much!!!

"World Without End" Ken Follett Great story and some history that relates to our time. Thanks for this excellent video!
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Definitely! I would start with Pillars of the Earth. It's my favorite of that trilogy.
Thank you so much for sharing your patterns and skills. Keep safe and well.
I LOVE this pattern!!!!! So easy to make and very nice fitting. I use the adjustable ear loop elastic and I don't even need to put in a metal nose bridge they fit so well. Thank you!!
Have have been given a pattern but I was not seeing how to sew it as simple as the rectangular one . Thanks to your video. I will do it your way . Any masks are better then no masks. Thanks
Thank you for so thouroughly explaining this process. I am a brand new sewer(is that a word? lol) I hope I can do this because I not only want to keep me and my kid's safe but would like to help out in my community too. I bought a bunch of fabric over the last few years and never really learned to sew but had good intentions.... Life always seemed to get in the way of me taking the time to learn this craft but now I have nothing but time! So I decided I can either sit around and feel sorry for myself because I am out of work or I can use what I have and make a difference. I chose the latter. Thanks again!
I find sewing very meditative. I think sewing all day everyday right now has really helped me not get too down about being unemployed and stuck at home. Plus it feels good to do something to help out. Hope you find some solace in it!
Stuff You Missed In History Class is a great podcast. Lots of episodes to listen to.
This definitely helped me visualize the nose wire
I prefer the casing on the side so the elastic can be replaced . Thank you for making these videos. They are great
Yes, those are nice for that reason.
You could still use the casing method but lay the piece of elastic on the fabric before folding the casing. Obviously, be careful not to catch the elastic in the stitching? Also, you don't need to stitch the open side before folding to make the casing, just close it with the casing formation stitching.
Enjoyed the well done video.
im so lost I hear what your saying but I just cant get it in my head. Lol... I too like the casing method better.
I don't understand what casing method is :-(
@@2010stoof I think they mean the narrow tube you stitch on the edge of the mask that the elastic/string goes through.
Thats hilarious i re listened to the HP books and finished too while sewing. I just started the green ember. Its pretty great
Ooh thanks. I'll check that out.
Thanks so much for this video and pattern modification. I have used it again and again, and love it.
THANK YOU ..Love this method, I use strips of jersey T shirts as ties, good and strong and stretchy and withstands washing.
You can heat seal the ends of the elastic with a lighter just like ribbon.
Thank you for that tip! I've started doing that.

10:33 thank you for explaining this. I never knew how to deal with the threads coming apart
You don't need to do this all you have to do is back stitch
@@dcwatashi what do you mean?
@@winniethepooh8353 you use the back stitch function that seals your thread so you don't have to tie them in a knot
@@dcwatashi oh, so you would press the back stitch lever and that's it?
@@winniethepooh8353 what type of sewing machine do you have?
Great video! Easy to follow and like how you showed how to do it in batches.
Great video, thank you. I use my walking foot when the layers get thick. Works like a charm.
I was checking the comments to see if anyone had mentioned this - it has been my holy grail, too! I just started sewing not all that long ago and am still learning; the walking foot has been the BEST tip I have learned so far when making the masks!
Very nice i try it work well the only thing i did diffrent is i cut the elastic exact 6"per side to go around ears instead of tie effect .....
A zigzag, with a short stitch length at the elastic will secure it, I have a brand new machine and have the issue, that disengages the feeddogs. I’ve been makimasks, i will start using the 3/8 seam, like that addition
I just made my first ever creation using a sewing machine! Thank you for such a great tutorial!!
YAY!! That's great. Congratulations. Hopefully it's the first of many 😊
can see the love and time that went in to making video. Thank you
I am using a very similar technique (slightly different pattern). I have an elastic cutting tip. cut a piece of corrugated cardboard 4 inches x half your desired elastic length. Wrap elastic multiple times around this jig WITHOUT STRETCHING it. Make one cut through all the elastic and you have just cut your quantity of elastic strands to length.
Great tip! Thank you!
That's a great idea! Thank you!! I'm now saving so much time doing that 😘
jvz7.com/c/1668671/358001
I prefer over the head stug fit and no pressure on my hears.
After making well over a hundred masks now I find a better way to put the nose wire in!! I'm tired of sewing little pockets on the inside. Great idea thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. You were so easy to listen to. No offensive 🎶 background music. And , you didn’t rush through each step. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks Deborah!
aranmade you are welcome. Have a good week.
Audiobook to listen to suggestion: “What The Wind Knows” by Amy Harmon excellent! Great video and some great tips I like that you tie the ends so that if they need to get replaced the elastic is not permanently sewn in! Love cutting out multiple layers at one time n stitching 🧵one after another. Just ordered new blades for my rotary❣️
We wee we w
Instead of tieing your cut elastic ends together I saw a woman thread one pony bead onto both ends of the same side then she tied the elastic in a tight knot. NOW it is truly adjustable because the bead keeps the elastic where you want the length to be which you determine after placing the mask on your face and the elastic over your ear. Just slide the pony bead up or down along the elastic to tighten or loosen the fit.
Thanks for the tip!
I didn't have much "spare" fabric at home so I headed to JoAnn's Fabrics. The horrendously long line and the personnel only admitting a couple people into the store at a time (good idea but VERY time consuming) prohibited my shopping there. I then tried at Walmart, where the only fabrics available were upholstery weight. To improvise, at Walmart, I purchased 300 count sheet sets in my favorite colors, red, white & blue. They are a soft, close weave material that is working out just great. Thought I'd let any one know, just in case they ran into the same shortage! I've sewn many things through the years but this will be the first time I've had a need for these. Thank you for the pattern and short cut instructions! God Bless You All . . . . Stay safe and healthy!!!
That's great that you were able to get some sheets. Studies that have been done on fabric for masks have shown that a high count 100% cotton sheet is one of the best materials to use for homemade fabric masks.
I have a serger, and was looking for a way to mass produce decent looking make quickly. Your video is not exactly what I was looking for, but it is a really good video (saved it), thanks for sharing it with us! 😊
Listen to the Alchemist! So good! Jeremy Irons narrates
Thanks! Putting a hold on it now :)
20 years with that machine, cool. You took really good care of it :) I wish my stitches are this clean. I am just starting out and want to help by sewing face masks, but my stitches are too messy, it's embarrassing!
If you make lots of masks, you will get better with each one. Protection over perfection ☺️
Sounds like you need to adjust both your upper and lower thread tensions. There are a few how to vidos here on youtube at least there used to be, that show you how to do that☺
bearing fruit in old age Thanks for this! I’ve been watching as you siggested. I checked my machine and it seems to only have the upper thread adjustable so it should be easier! (Janome HD3000) thanks for the tip! :)
The lower tension is adjusted by the tiny bolt that holds the bobbin. I mark where the slot of bolt and is on the bobbin holder and turn bolt 1/4 of a turn at a time depending on if it's too tight or lose. Also you may need to buy a new one i think the sprigines can ware out over time and use.
Terry Pratchett books would be the best to next listen to. Magic and other fun stuff; such a hoot! Thank you for your tutorial.
Great presentation that gives excellent results. Thanks for the help.
Great tutorial Aranmade. Though I'm using a slightly different pattern with a pocket for a filter that I added an inner lining to, I also have been making my masks in batches. Only I call it assembly line instead of a batch and sausage instead of chain. I would recommend a thread cutter like the one from Sunflower Quilt. It speeds cutting the masks apart. I do the same as you do too by using the original piece of elastic to measure and cut the rest and folding the seams away from the opening for ease of adding the wire. I really like the way you tie the threads before turning. Great tip!
Olive I’ve been doing the batch sewing too, I just call it my daisy chain!
☺ What a cute name for it. I loved making daisy chains when I was a little girl.

@@nerinabuffon7015 I'm not sure what that means. It looks like just a comma.
Susan Cooper has a couple of books out that I enjoyed. The Bogart, The Bogart and the Monster, The Dark is Rising series, or if you like something a bit more “classic” The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series, or of course there is Game of Thrones series.
your video is very helpful...I have been making masks and i wanted to make other styles of mask to sew, glad i found your video. you made sewing in a curve look easy i tend go crooked. I really gotta pace myself.
Thanks for the patterns and the video! Well done!!
Thank you! These are beautiful! I would like to see you model one so I can see the fit
I was hoping to see the fit as well.
I have one on at the very end of this video: czcams.com/video/Qxd9G6aNTDQ/video.html
Probably these are not the correct expression, but I found this video beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you!
The Giver series is a wonderful read. Greats masks!
OMGosh. I am so happy that you showed the machine having issues with elastic "hump" / seam. I have a 1970 Kenmore and I have to do the push-pull fiddly thing too. Yippie.
And this pattern will be quicker, for me, than the pleated because of NOT having as many fabric humps. Thank you so much for sharing!
This was also a good tip from @Louise Faubert in comments:
"Regarding bulky seam. Fold a piece of material so it is as thick as your seam place it behind your needle this will even your presser foot so it is flat and doesn’t have to see up that hill. Use it as a leader cloth each time you make that seam."
I was in tears sewing my first batch of 17 pleated masks and the 1/4" fabric straps (using instructions from my local quilt shop). I kept telling my husband that some sadistic OCD perfectionist must have designed this mask. I had to stop every day after sewing for hours. The fitted masks (with darts) have helped me regain my sanity. Plus I found a small stash of elastic in my craft studio when I was re-organizing it. :-)
My machine has same starting issue...
I move forward and begin by reversing to edge and then back over and onward.
1 make nice start
Finish all threads away from edge for a cleaner finish.
I usually try and start mine further from the edge for that reason, but with this particular way of making it, you need to start at the very edge to make sure you get those extra stitches on the elastic to really secure it.
@@aranmade I do sew over and back twice over the elastic
What do you think about changing the elastics to bias tape so they can be tied at any size, like the ones used in or’s? They don’t irritate behind the ears. I have yards and yards of bias tape of different colours that I can use like this.
I was wondering if i was the only one who has that issue with the back of my ears hurting.
Kumbo me TOO plus it would cut down on the problems of sewing OVER the elastic. IJS
Yes, a lot of people have been doing that and I've heard good results.
@@bettydiggs2563 Sewing over the elastic is more efficient, which was the point of batch sewing the masks.
What a Beatiful work.
Clear explication excellent video I could see every stitch.
I'm.making masks but the acodion.I do love to start on this model now.thank you for your work of love.
Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial... 115 Christmas masks made for charity would have been a lot harder without your guidance!
“Ready Player One” is a very engaging audiobook.
Anything by Becky Chambers.
“Ender’s Game”
Thanks for the great tutorial:-)
I’ve relistened to all the Potter books too, starting on “The Hunger Games” again:-)
Thanks!
Ready Player One is one of my favorite audiobooks EVER!
Oh yes. The ending of Ender’s Game!!! Wish I could forget it so I could enjoy it all over again with the same level of suspense and awe.
Suzy Scragg me too! Have you read Ender’s Shadow? Worth it!
@@talithaleah6563 Oh yea, I read most of the others in the series but none were ever as good as Ender's Game. Love Bean though! Orson Scott Card wrote a great book about how the world may have turned out with people in the future going back in time to stop Christopher Columbus from colonizing the Americas. It was riveting.
Do you also remove 1/2" from the "smaller" size template if making the smaller ones?
That is a great question!
Hi, I was wondering the same thing and then I realized she is sewing the elastic in the mask. On the original, she added the 1/2 inch because she has to fold the ends to put the elastic. So if you are sewing the elastic in...then yes, cut 1/2 inch.
Oh and i happen to run into your video. My baby was playing with my phone and landed on here and im very happy she did
Thank you for your tutorial. It really helpful. I’m so excited to make this
Listen to "all over but the shoutin" by Rick Bragg. Thanks for the tutorial.
Great book.
can you tell me why we are shortening the mask by half an inch just curious was it to big before I am assuming. Do we do the same for the smaller version and kids version???
I think it's because in the original version you fold the edge and thread the elastic through it, and in this version you sew the elastic on the edge so you don't need the extra fabric to fold it over. I THINK! ☺️
I appreciate you sharing and especially for posting the pattern right up front. Thank you for what you are doing. Going to give it a go!
You are so welcome!
I just listened to Circe on Audible, I really enjoyed it. The story of the goddess Circe from Greek mythology. It's a long read. Thank you for the pattern and instructions. I've got 100 to make for the local village school.
great read :)
Audible suggestion... "Rivers of London" series... If you Luke Harry Potter, this is a great series
Audiobook recommendation: The Outlander Series. I love these books and they are nice and lengthy so you get a good bargain for your monthly book credit
Wow, great job! Ready Player One is my all time favorite audio book. You should definitely give a try. It's all about 80s nostalgia.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Your instructions are very clear.
I shared it with my friends who making face masks for health care workers.
nice the only thing I would do different is the elastic, sew it instead of tying it, so you don't have a knot behind your ear.
jvz7.com/c/1668671/358001
I don't cut the elastic at the end. Just leave it like that and the person can adjust the size with a knot.
Ana Nazario is it comfy? I’m thinking about doing that
It is comfy!
Thank you so much for this, I've been wanting to DIY this - template & instructions were so helpful. Thank you for doing this for our community. We are all in this together

great tutorial ,thank you Aranmade
Also wondering where you get the wire. I have been using plastic-covered copper electrical wire. Nice and sturdy. What type of machine do you have? I had a pretty basic Singer, but got rid of it a several years ago and bought a Bernina 350PE. I love it! I use it for garment sewing (and now, making masks for my family).
Oh copper covered electrical wire would be great. No concern with rusting there. The place I got this wire is now sold out and am have been having a hard time finding more today. I got a Bernina 335 yesterday. I'm very excited. Have been thinking about one for a while. Now to try it out ☺️
Donna B I use floral wire, covered and non-covered, Walmart
Thank you Aranmade
Also use pony bead at the end to adjust to fit
Copper wire yeah, I was using pipe cleaners.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☺
