Hey Marcy on the 19th of December 2020 ( like yesterday) 👌 I found this video. I started to sew for the first time in August of this year so I'm very new using a sewing machine I tried this mask and it came out pretty good thanks thanks for making sewing fun I love you and Rob for keeping this tutorial as fun and entertaining .I subscribed so I'll be looking at all your other videos 😉. I'm still trying to get the measurements and cutting down pack . This mask came out very neat I sent a picture to my friends and they want one lol 😆. Love your style, your crazy, your vibe and your technique. Please in you future videos can you say what type / kind of fabric you use so I can get an idea what to buy . Thanks 😊👍
I'm sorry but I'm confused. I took a piece of printer paper and followed your video for the pattern. But after I fold and measure 4 1/4 in on the bottom your piece is a lot smaller. Am I using the wrong paper yours seems smaller to start with!?.? Help please Could you appease me and just measure that brown piece again??? Its not working for me...I'm sooo 😥
@@donnawilliamson7393 I used a piece of printer paper (8.5 x 11) and folded it long ways first then short ways. You should make your first mark over by4.5in and then from there make the second mark. If it helps, I watched that part twice.
This is probably the thousand and second face mask tutorial I have watched and is by far the most entertaining, but also the easiest to follow along with. Thank you!!
Completely agree. I have watched a gazillion videos, cut out hundreds of masks and sewn most of them. Just when I think I have made EVERY type, you come along. Lol! Yes, I am going to try yours this week. Mostly because you two are adorable and quirky. Extreme compliment! Stay safe and be well!
Hero’s don’t just wear capes! Hana was scrolling to see why size paper that was even though I’m pretty sure it won’t matter and was gonna track down some bobby pins but I saw your Wisdoms first and have one out from another pattern I made and had to poke the corners whe I turned them right side out haha yah today is going so well; round this video by chance after spending hours sourcing out patterns because everyone I have had a weird shaped face hanan
I've tried several (many) different patterns. I'm an experienced sewer and I would RECOMMEND THIS PATTERN to ANY BEGINNER, with a sewing machine or just using an old fashioned needle and thread. I keep coming back to this pattern because it is the EASIEST AND FASTEST TO CONSTRUCT once all the pieces are cut. (1) No difficult to maneuver curved sewing lines; (2) No extra measurements needed during construction; (3) No darts; (4) it is the easiest to cut and construct ASSEMBLY-LINE FASHION when making lots and lots of masks for donation. Thanks so much. Your video is step-by-step easy to follow and you, especially, are fun to watch. Recipients of this pattern are 100% pleased because it is also VERY COMFORTABLE TO WEAR as well as being very attractive. Thank you!!!!! Update: Additionally..... your EYEGLASSES DO NOT FOG!!!. Just make sure the wired nose piece fits well on your nose.
Wifey is new to the sewing machine and really wanted to make her own masks. We watched several videos but this was by far the best and simple to follow.
✂️✂️✂️ PAPER SIZE: Hey y’all! For your paper size, a standard sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch copy or notebook paper will do the trick. So glad y’all are liking the video ❤️!
I’m so happy you UPDATED and added the paper measurements ... I was trying to count your 1” measurements when you had paper folded in 1/2. Thank you for that!
Oh my goodness you are cute as a bug, which my 2yr old Grand repeated with a grin! I’ll be back. Thanks for the smiles and cute husband. Oh I almost forgot- I LOVE your hair
I was just going to ask what size of paper that was the only thing that I could see missing with this video, it's fun and informational and I really enjoyed it thanks and I will try this mask ❣️❣️
I have to wear a mask all the time now as I am front facing to public and 70 yrs. Thank you for the simplest yet great fitting mask I have found to date.
Oona...I've been a FAN FOR YEARS! I just clicked on this vid because I was looking for a quick tut on 3D and as I watched, I was like "Wait... I know that hair!" I joined PR years ago and have always admired your work and your sewing talent. Subscribed to your blog ages (10? years) ago. I love in this video how you merged garment sewing (bias) basics into creating a work of art that is the dreaded mask. Hats off my sewing compadre'. Nicely done! You teach basic sewing the way I teach machine embroidery. SUBSCRIBED!!
I love love both of you, not everyday you’d come across a great tutorial and be entertained at the same time, with all the craziness in the world right now, i forget for a moment and laugh with you. Ok... now i am going to rewind and watch again... thank you 💕
Not only the most entertaining mask-making video, but also the best-fitting and EASIEST mask to sew! Took 10-15 minutes from tracing to tying the elastic. My mom is very particular about the way her masks fit, and this one hits all the marks. (I added a channel in each of the contrast panels for a nose wire and chin wire, respectively.) THANK YOU, MARCY!
Just made this mask for my husband and it is the only one that does not move down his nose when he talks. I've made many many many different patterns for mask - this one fits perfectly. I've made a smaller one for me as instructed in your video - worked for me too! Thank you so much for sharing! I really don't like elastic around my ears so I use a 44 inch paracord going through the channels by looping around my neck to the top of my head and adjustable using cord lock toggle. I did adjust the side tabs to be 1.5 inch instead of 1 inch to accommodate the thicker paracord. Thank you again for making this video so fun to watch and the instructions is very clear.
I love this Couple, he's a Cutie Pie & she's Beautiful & their Hilarious! Oh yes & I like the Mask pattern too. Thanks for sharing. I'm a new Subscriber..
The best mask making video to date! Yes, the mask is really nice, but let's be honest, the humor kept us watching till the very end. Marcy, Rob, thank you for bringing light and joy to my day. Looking forward to more videos. And, just to be clear, I really do like the way you made this 3D mask. I like the fact that there is no seam down the middle. I'm going to go try this one so I will have it ready for work tomorrow. Thanks, and stay safe!
You got a winner here!!! I’m so grateful to you for sharing this mask design & making it simple to follow along! Thanks for the comic relief along the way, we all need to keep smiling especially behind our masks! Stay well!!! Peace & blessings to you both!!!
You both are G-r-e-a-t with a capital G! I love the hair on both your heads (but mostly Marcy's). Keep rockin' the natural 'fro. I think it's beautiful; I'm envious. Thank you for this excellent video. I think it's the best 3D face mask pattern out there. I like that you've made it unfussy and simple. I haven't sewn as many masks as you and I'm already sick of all the sewing. Anyone who can reduce mask-making to as few steps as possible gets two thumbs up from me. YAY! Love, peace, & equality for all!
Let me just say it’s refreshing to see someone give credit beyond just one person they found an idea from. I’m really impressed by that and I think demonstrates amazing character!
😊thank you! To be honest, anytime someone comments “I love *your* pattern,” I want to explain the whole evolution.....but that’s a lotta typing 😅And I found out, after doing the video, that even more folks had been sewing this style before the ladies I mentioned! Wish we knew who “patient zero” was!
Love the mask! I modified a bit to sew the wire in before assembly instead of after and it works a treat! Thanks for the tutorial and super fun delivery! Inspired me to stitch up a few more masks for myself and my family!
It's 11 PM on a Friday night. I'm heading down to my sewing room and making one of these bad boys. I have some cute red with white polka dot fabric and white with red polka dots - fabric meant for the perfect masks and has been sitting around for months just waiting for the right mask idea. Thank you so much for the motivation and entertainment. I have to see more of your videos. But not until I make a mask.
It's the first time I have seen your channel...I love that your hubby was up to making something special for you while you shared your pattern and technique. Thank you, Marcy!
Thank you for this 3D mask lesson..so much easier than others I've watched. Love your personality :) and your interaction with your co-star. Love the big hair ;)
OMG - LOVE this! I sew but now I'm into quilting (cuz I'm 65!). I just love your sense of humor & hysterical hijinks! I'd have spit out my beverage several times if I'd been drinking while watching! I think if you did quilting, you'd use Kaffe Fassett's large, brilliantly colored prints. And your great big, wonderful HAIR to go with your dazzling SMILE! We need your brand of enthusiasm right now! Thanks for being you!
How did I not know you had a TH-cam channel?!?! Ok mini story time: So I've been slightly obsessed with you since fabric . com featured your African wax fabric blog post many many emails ago. I'm Nigerian and I loved seeing the fabric I grew up with being used by other people, especially fabulous ladies with amazing hair! I quickly started following you and only knew you as OonaBallona, the super colorful lady that can SANG and SEW. I'm so so SO happy to have stumbled across your channel, you're so effervescent and you literally brighten up my IG feed. And thank you TH-cam gods for making this video right at the top!
I think you may have solved my issue with the standard 3D mask. I made a bunch for my daughter and I. I love how there is virtually no gapping and how they don’t rub on our face but they pull across the nose. This looks like it is more substantial. I prefer around the head vs around the ears but thats an easy mod. Thanks so much for the pattern/tutorial. I will be trying it this weekend. Stay safe!
Joanne K-J I also prefer around the head, what length elastic would you use? Would you use two pieces of elastic or one long piece? Trying to figure it out. TIA
Hi Joanne K-J. Do you think if the 2 outside pieces (in her video - the dark colored fabric) would both be 1” longer w the ends tucked in - the elastic (long enough to fit around head) is inserted and then sewn shut at both ends. Do you think this would work?
@@dorothymasterson57 I hope that you'll be able to understand what I'm describing. I cut out 2 pieces (main and lining pieces) with the 1" extensions on each side. I did exactly this so that I could insert an "elastic band cord with adjustable buckle" instead of an elastic loop. The problem is that you need the flap (see 10:20 of this 3D video) to cover the nose and chin pieces. What I did, was I folded the lining inside extended piece - inside, then tucked each end of the "elastic band cord" into each corner at an angle (pinned them there), and proceeded to fold the main extended piece like Marcy shows in the video. Wish I could share a photo to show you. I hope this helps.
I added the extra 1 inch length for ear loops to the pattern and marked a fold line for cutting the the other pieces. Also added fold lines on the pattern 2 inches from the edge of the main piece for cutting out the filter pocket. I love this 3D mask pattern!!! I think you have the best way of making this style of mask for me. I like simple, straight to the point and quick! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank God I’m not the only one who is on her gazzilionth attempt to make a well fitting face mask! I’ve lost count how many fails I’ve made so far. Your video is so refreshing and fun. Thanks for cheering me up. 😊
I found this pattern and love it too! My question would be do you have measurements for a childrens sizes? If yes, will you share please??? BTW- I just watched you singing, WOWWW!!! You would be amazing in Hamilton, you can sing so clear, concise, quick and beautifully! Thanks for making this video, your hair is GREAT TOO!!!
I agree with Miss Elmyra...your hair is beautiful!! The pattern you explained in this video is very easy to follow. I love this mask! Your husband is a wonderful addition to this video. What a sweetie!
I love this video and the pattern is spectacular. I wanted to let you know how I unfussied it a little more. Instead of bias tape for nose wire, I just sewed the wire directly into one of pieces of fabric that is folded - by default is now the nose piece vs the chin piece. I also added a teeny bit of fussiness - First - instead of cutting the long sides of the pattern straight, I followed the curve of a PM2.5 filter I have - not hard to do. I also made a filter pocket by folding the pattern in about 1.25" on each side, cutting another piece (now 5 pieces) of fabric from that shape, double folding and hemming the short edges of that. Then when making the fabric sandwich, I add that to the outside of the liner piece (in your video it would mean flipping the piece over once you've pinned it, and pinning this pocket to the other side with the wrong side down. Hope that makes sense. So now I have a 3-D mask that has the nose wire sewn in, and a filter pocket that fits a PM2.5 filter perfectly! Super happy with how it turned out, and thank you for providing the foundation and an entertaining how-to video!!
😂 “That’s what she said” 😂 - So glad I stumbled upon this video! You guys are adorable - I’m subscribing no matter what your content is. I’m also a sewist and have made hundreds of masks but not in this style so I will definitely be making these next!
Me too!!! My bummer sticker this year said Scott Schrute 2020😂 A friend that doesn't watch the office said, I don't know who Scott Schrute is but if you support him he must be good....heheheh Peace love and light from NC!!
I've been using (kinda) this pattern to make masks for months - to customize the size of mask to fit - measure from the bottom of your chin to the top of the tip of your nose divide by 2 for your mask height and the tip of the nose to the earlobe divide by 2 for your length.
@@SenatorBrownshirt I think it means to divide when measuring to make the pattern. In that case though, you'd only halve the nose-to-chin number, and just use the nose-to-earlobe measurement as is.
Thank you for this pattern. I made almost 100 masks and gave them to co-workers, friends, and family this holiday season. Everyone loves the way they fit. 😷
We did the exact same thing with our mouths at the same time when your husband walked by in the beginning of the video 😂😂 Love this, btw and thank you for sharing. I may actually complete a mask with this pattern.
You are absolutely hilarious! I've made a bazillion masks and I SO wish I had your vid before I did. UGH. And (vanity speaks) I completely love your hair...it is gorgeous! Thanks for the humour. We all need it - especially while sewing crooked lines on all the other very thick elastic edges. xox
Thank you, thank you, Marcy! For this video, and for the update. My husband has a big head and a beard and a regal nose--your pattern (with a quarter inch added to height) along with the large flap for nose and chin, finally did the trick. Besides being able to cover his impressive nose and chin, he also appreciates the cheek coverage. So many masks barely go out past the wearer's mouth. He's so happy!
I’ve been making masks since February 2020 to match my outfits and moods. Somehow, I never came across your tutorials, but I’m glad I did. And you two are funny, cute and so refreshing!
I was watching another vid about facemasks, when yours came on. I had the sound off on the other one because it was only music, no narration. I also sped it up. I’m subscribing to your channel even though I’m watching it in double time and with no sound. I can tell you’re a lot of fun.
Thanks for the 3D mask tutorial. You're very easy to follow with a pleasant personality to boot. Thanks for sharing your wealth of sewing shortcuts knowledge.
I just made a mask with your pattern. Super easy and I love it. I added a filter pocket layer by cutting a second lining piece (5th pattern piece) removed an inch from each side, folded 1" inward to create finish seam for pocket then construct as per your instructions. Thanks a bunch!
I just stumbled onto your channel or page, or whatever it's called. I love it. Your instructions were spot on. I will add this pattern to my collection. I'm making mask for family and friends; even foes😁 This one will be nice for me since I wear eyeglasses. Thanks 😊
I was looking for an easier pattern, and with only a couple modifications, this is absolutely it! You two should be in every major city! Such a delight to watch and amazingly clear instruction. Thank you.
It is absolutely a delight to learn something and laughing all at the same time. You are super cute with a wonderful husband. You two are the BEST!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and bringing a big smile to my face 😊
✂️✂️✂️ Update! Your questions & comments are now answered in our update video here: th-cam.com/video/XgXG_d--4Z4/w-d-xo.html Including measurements, kiddo sizing, fabric sandwiches...and a little snark clapback... So glad y'all are digging the tutorial. Paper size and Mask measurements are also in the caption box on both videos! 💕 always, The Harriells
I really don't know why, but I'm loving the way you did this video. Your 'almost snarky' way of talking. You've got me intrigued with ya... Now Imma stalk ya channel a bit. LOL!
OMG A. You're beautiful and make me smile. B. Your husband/significant other reminds me of mine (and I just LOVE him, mine I mean 😂) C. I love this pattern and can't wait to make it. Its the best 3D pattern yet (and I've made a ton of 'em let me tell ya!) D. THANKS 🤗👋👍😁 (oh, and I've subscribed 👍)
Such a great tutorial, thanks! I made one and my glasses wearing husband tried it and was saying how pleased he was that his specs didn't steam up. So I was explaining how cool it was that the pattern pieces were the same shape and he asked "oh, is this the bath woman" (as he'd been watching the video over my shoulder). When confirmed it was the "bath woman" pattern, he said "I'll run you a bath...... when you've made 1001 masks".
The stars aligned tonight and brought me to your channel, I love everything about this tutorial! Thank you both for being another awesome bright light for us! 🥰🥰 SUBSCRIBED and LIKED!
Okay, I've made these masks before (they're my husband's favourite), but your small tweaks (the extensions on the front panel and the bias channel for a nose wire) make both the finished product AND the process of making them SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you! This is now my go-to mask pattern.
I like how this pattern can be easily adjusted for those of us with smaller faces. I can't tell you how many mask tutorials I've followed, only to end my hard work with a mask that covers my nose, mouth, and my eyes. Frustrating.
I just tried this style. I love it. Its easier to breathe. Doesn't stick to your face. Also doesn't fog up my glasses nearly as much. I'm going to have to make all new ones to this style.....
With a shortage of elastic I decided to use a 1’”slice of used pantyhose leg instead of elastic. It curls into a soft roll on your ears and there’s no knots-very comfortable. Loved the video
First, place the interior main piece right side up. Next, place the flaps on top of the interior main piece. Last, place the exterior main piece right side down on top of the flaps. That's your sandwich!
@@francescovington2720 Thank you for clarifying, because it was hard to tell in the video. I ended up sewing the mask completely wrong because I though everything was right side up based on how the fabric looked in the video.
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm just learning to sew (I bought my first sewing machine in March just to learn to make masks for the family). I've been getting all my 'training' on youtube, , and have only made about 25 masks so far. I was looking for something to keep my husbands glasses from fogging up, but the regular duckbill and pleated masks just don't work well for him, even with a metal nose piece. Your video came up in my feed before I even searched for a 3D mask, and I'm so glad it did. Your video was entertaining, and straight to the point. I just finished a mask, and I can't wait for hubby to come home to try it out. Thank you so much!
Marcy, I have been making your masks for a few weeks now, and I have to tell you everybody LOVES THEM! Including me. They are the most comfortable and good looking ones I have made. Kudos to you and these awesome masks. Thanks so much.🥰
MARCY--- You Rock! Cut a new template after watching your tutorial 3 weeks ago. Totally delighted with how much easier YOUR 3-D approach works compared to what I used before! Output about 50 masks since without the "turnout" nightmare. BTW - I use 10" elastic pulled through a pony bead (then knotted) so the ear pieces are adjustable. That little add-on helps fit the mask with a good seal across different sized people. Again, THANK YOU for your levity and love. :-)
I haven't found anything yet that works all the time. I wear a mask all day at work. I find after a while that my breathing adjusts and my glasses stop fogging.
I found that by using a coffee tie (as Marcy recommends) for the nose piece works wonderfully with glasses. At this time, as we can't shop for non-essential items where I live, I've just ordered a bunch through Amazon. My glasses didn't fog up. My husband and son had the same result.
I made my first fabric mask today thanks to your tutorial. Super easy to follow even for a beginner to sewing. The mask fit perfectly even without the nose piece. Thank you for your clear and entertaining explanation!
FILTER POCKET.....Yet ANOTHER update! Check out how to add one here: th-cam.com/video/OL_Wczf8p20/w-d-xo.html

Great video. Recommendation: Crochet hooks are great for threading elastic, and might be useful with your nose piece insert. It is a lot faster.

I haven't sewn as many masks as you and I'm already sick of all the sewing. Anyone who can reduce mask-making to as few steps as possible gets two thumbs up from me. YAY! Love, peace, & equality for all!
Let me just say it’s refreshing to see someone give credit beyond just one person they found an idea from. I’m really impressed by that and I think demonstrates amazing character!
😊thank you! To be honest, anytime someone comments “I love *your* pattern,” I want to explain the whole evolution.....but that’s a lotta typing 😅And I found out, after doing the video, that even more folks had been sewing this style before the ladies I mentioned! Wish we knew who “patient zero” was!
There's plenty of good energy in this video and attention to detail. Thank you for doing this. I start tomorrow.
Love the mask! I modified a bit to sew the wire in before assembly instead of after and it works a treat! Thanks for the tutorial and super fun delivery! Inspired me to stitch up a few more masks for myself and my family!
Yeah, I sew the nose wire channel on before assembly, but otherwise no changes needed.
It's 11 PM on a Friday night. I'm heading down to my sewing room and making one of these bad boys. I have some cute red with white polka dot fabric and white with red polka dots - fabric meant for the perfect masks and has been sitting around for months just waiting for the right mask idea. Thank you so much for the motivation and entertainment. I have to see more of your videos. But not until I make a mask.
Oh that will be SOOOO cute!!!
It's the first time I have seen your channel...I love that your hubby was up to making something special for you while you shared your pattern and technique. Thank you, Marcy!
You’re welcome! He’s always up to something 😅
You guys SEW need your own sitcom! I was laughing so much which says a lot these days. Great mask pattern too!
Carlton, that makes us both so happy. Thankya!
Thank you for this 3D mask lesson..so much easier than others I've watched. Love your personality :) and your interaction with your co-star. Love the big hair ;)
I love this tutorial. Y’all are too cute. I’m going to add the nose piece in one of the contrast fold before sandwiching and sewing.
Yes, I'm going to do this, as well. I think I will also topstitch those two pieces before putting them in the "sandwich".
OMG I’m loving your content, thank you Marcy and Rob! I was giggling all the way through. This is informative and funtastic!!!😆🥰😘🤗🥳🥳🥳
that is EXCELLENT to hear! Gotta have a little fun with the learning :)
Absolutely great very good teacher
FUNtastic!
OMG - LOVE this! I sew but now I'm into quilting (cuz I'm 65!). I just love your sense of humor & hysterical hijinks! I'd have spit out my beverage several times if I'd been drinking while watching! I think if you did quilting, you'd use Kaffe Fassett's large, brilliantly colored prints. And your great big, wonderful HAIR to go with your dazzling SMILE! We need your brand of enthusiasm right now! Thanks for being you!
🤣! Thankya! And oh, I LOVE Kaffe Fassett’s prints, I’ve been meaning to grab some for awhile now. I’ve also been meaning to try a quilt, too 😅
How did I not know you had a TH-cam channel?!?! Ok mini story time: So I've been slightly obsessed with you since fabric . com featured your African wax fabric blog post many many emails ago. I'm Nigerian and I loved seeing the fabric I grew up with being used by other people, especially fabulous ladies with amazing hair! I quickly started following you and only knew you as OonaBallona, the super colorful lady that can SANG and SEW. I'm so so SO happy to have stumbled across your channel, you're so effervescent and you literally brighten up my IG feed. And thank you TH-cam gods for making this video right at the top!
Am I the only one looking for the recipe for that lovely bubble bath? The masks are amazing and I definitely love your style!
I think you may have solved my issue with the standard 3D mask. I made a bunch for my daughter and I. I love how there is virtually no gapping and how they don’t rub on our face but they pull across the nose. This looks like it is more substantial. I prefer around the head vs around the ears but thats an easy mod. Thanks so much for the pattern/tutorial. I will be trying it this weekend. Stay safe!
Joanne K-J I also prefer around the head, what length elastic would you use? Would you use two pieces of elastic or one long piece? Trying to figure it out. TIA
Hi Joanne K-J. Do you think if the 2 outside pieces (in her video - the dark colored fabric) would both be 1” longer w the ends tucked in - the elastic (long enough to fit around head) is inserted and then sewn shut at both ends. Do you think this would work?
@@dorothymasterson57 I hope that you'll be able to understand what I'm describing. I cut out 2 pieces (main and lining pieces) with the 1" extensions on each side. I did exactly this so that I could insert an "elastic band cord with adjustable buckle" instead of an elastic loop. The problem is that you need the flap (see 10:20 of this 3D video) to cover the nose and chin pieces. What I did, was I folded the lining inside extended piece - inside, then tucked each end of the "elastic band cord" into each corner at an angle (pinned them there), and proceeded to fold the main extended piece like Marcy shows in the video. Wish I could share a photo to show you. I hope this helps.
👍🏻You have a point about those needles holes.
That's important info when making a mask.💯
I enjoyed watching your video. 😊
I added the extra 1 inch length for ear loops to the pattern and marked a fold line for cutting the the other pieces. Also added fold lines on the pattern 2 inches from the edge of the main piece for cutting out the filter pocket. I love this 3D mask pattern!!! I think you have the best way of making this style of mask for me. I like simple, straight to the point and quick! Thanks so much for sharing!
I could watch this all day.
Thank God I’m not the only one who is on her gazzilionth attempt to make a well fitting face mask! I’ve lost count how many fails I’ve made so far. Your video is so refreshing and fun. Thanks for cheering me up. 😊
Great tutorial, so easy to follow. You and your guy are adorable. Thank you so much for sharing.
Where have you been my whole life??!! How did I just now find you?! You are so full of fun and its amazing! Thank you!!
I'm so loving your hair! Great tutorial and no curves or pleats mask pattern. Easy to adjust for kiddos...many thanks!
I think this is by far the easiest mask that also looks great. Thank you!
I just found out that this mask can be flipped over to become a completely different masks!!!! I am beyond excited !! Best mask pattern ever.
wow I’ve never tried that!
I found this pattern and love it too! My question would be do you have measurements for a childrens sizes? If yes, will you share please??? BTW- I just watched you singing, WOWWW!!! You would be amazing in Hamilton, you can sing so clear, concise, quick and beautifully! Thanks for making this video, your hair is GREAT TOO!!!
How adorable is she?!?!? She beautiful, seriously funny, clean fun, too. I’m subbing.
Thankya!
Great video. Recommendation: Crochet hooks are great for threading elastic, and might be useful with your nose piece insert. It is a lot faster.
I agree with Miss Elmyra...your hair is beautiful!! The pattern you explained in this video is very easy to follow. I love this mask! Your husband is a wonderful addition to this video. What a sweetie!
Thank you so much 😊 !
Thank you for making this simple and easy for beginners. This is the best mask tutorial I've seen since Covid wreaked havoc in our lives.
I love this video and the pattern is spectacular. I wanted to let you know how I unfussied it a little more. Instead of bias tape for nose wire, I just sewed the wire directly into one of pieces of fabric that is folded - by default is now the nose piece vs the chin piece. I also added a teeny bit of fussiness - First - instead of cutting the long sides of the pattern straight, I followed the curve of a PM2.5 filter I have - not hard to do. I also made a filter pocket by folding the pattern in about 1.25" on each side, cutting another piece (now 5 pieces) of fabric from that shape, double folding and hemming the short edges of that. Then when making the fabric sandwich, I add that to the outside of the liner piece (in your video it would mean flipping the piece over once you've pinned it, and pinning this pocket to the other side with the wrong side down. Hope that makes sense. So now I have a 3-D mask that has the nose wire sewn in, and a filter pocket that fits a PM2.5 filter perfectly! Super happy with how it turned out, and thank you for providing the foundation and an entertaining how-to video!!
😂 “That’s what she said” 😂 - So glad I stumbled upon this video! You guys are adorable - I’m subscribing no matter what your content is.
I’m also a sewist and have made hundreds of masks but not in this style so I will definitely be making these next!
🤣🤣thankya! Who knows what we’ll do next... so that’s good to hear 😅
Me too!!! My bummer sticker this year said Scott Schrute 2020😂 A friend that doesn't watch the office said, I don't know who Scott Schrute is but if you support him he must be good....heheheh Peace love and light from NC!!
I've been using (kinda) this pattern to make masks for months - to customize the size of mask to fit - measure from the bottom of your chin to the top of the tip of your nose divide by 2 for your mask height and the tip of the nose to the earlobe divide by 2 for your length.
OOF. Math! So, would you add SA to that number?
Wait a second..."divide" by two? Do you mean "multiply" by two?
Huh!?!?!????????
@@SenatorBrownshirt I think it means to divide when measuring to make the pattern. In that case though, you'd only halve the nose-to-chin number, and just use the nose-to-earlobe measurement as is.
Thank you for this pattern. I made almost 100 masks and gave them to co-workers, friends, and family this holiday season. Everyone loves the way they fit. 😷
Christine, we’re so glad to hear that. Thanks for spreading the care!
I loved this tutorial. Marcy illustrates making this mask so well. She is so fun to watch as well as Rob in the background. Lol.
We did the exact same thing with our mouths at the same time when your husband walked by in the beginning of the video 😂😂 Love this, btw and thank you for sharing. I may actually complete a mask with this pattern.
HAHAHAHA I do this face to him allll the time 😅thank you! Hope you try it!
You are absolutely hilarious! I've made a bazillion masks and I SO wish I had your vid before I did. UGH. And (vanity speaks) I completely love your hair...it is gorgeous! Thanks for the humour. We all need it - especially while sewing crooked lines on all the other very thick elastic edges. xox
😅😅😅nothing will sour a sewist on mask making quicker than stressing out over perfect stitching!
This has been the most fun I’ve had watching a tutorial! You rock! And I learned lots too! I wish I had found you 2 months ago! Keep up the good work!
Thank you, thank you, Marcy! For this video, and for the update. My husband has a big head and a beard and a regal nose--your pattern (with a quarter inch added to height) along with the large flap for nose and chin, finally did the trick. Besides being able to cover his impressive nose and chin, he also appreciates the cheek coverage. So many masks barely go out past the wearer's mouth. He's so happy!
I’ve been making masks since February 2020 to match my outfits and moods. Somehow, I never came across your tutorials, but I’m glad I did. And you two are funny, cute and so refreshing!
Thank you 💗❤️💗!
This is officially my new favorite channel. You both make me laugh and smile. It's a great treat!😁
Margaret, that makes us SO happy!
I love this! I am going to try this pattern right now and that is awesome that you gave all of the others credit for it. :)
gotta give credit where it's due!❤️ It's hard to find the thread nowadays...
That was nice she did that!
I was watching another vid about facemasks, when yours came on. I had the sound off on the other one because it was only music, no narration. I also sped it up. I’m subscribing to your channel even though I’m watching it in double time and with no sound. I can tell you’re a lot of fun.
Hahahaaa that really made me smile-especially since I have to remind myself to slow down to a somewhat normal pace 😅😅Thank you!
Thanks for the 3D mask tutorial. You're very easy to follow with a pleasant personality to boot. Thanks for sharing your wealth of sewing shortcuts knowledge.
I just made a mask with your pattern. Super easy and I love it. I added a filter pocket layer by cutting a second lining piece (5th pattern piece) removed an inch from each side, folded 1" inward to create finish seam for pocket then construct as per your instructions. Thanks a bunch!
Ah you went the extra mile and finished that interior pocket edge! I couldn’t go that far myself 🤣
I just stumbled onto your channel or page, or whatever it's called. I love it. Your instructions were spot on. I will add this pattern to my collection. I'm making mask for family and friends; even foes😁 This one will be nice for me since I wear eyeglasses. Thanks 😊
You are most welcome 💗
This is the first I've seen your channel and you've sold me. You're hilarious!
thankya!!
Me too! I’m in STITCHES! 😂
@@hmh4772 me 3 :)
I’m in love: smart, fun, adorable, efficient, effective plus GREAT music!
I was looking for an easier pattern, and with only a couple modifications, this is absolutely it!
You two should be in every major city! Such a delight to watch and amazingly clear instruction. Thank you.
🤗thank you so much!
It is absolutely a delight to learn something and laughing all at the same time. You are super cute with a wonderful husband. You two are the BEST!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and bringing a big smile to my face 😊
😊😊😊thank you so much, Jenary!
✂️✂️✂️ Update! Your questions & comments are now answered in our update video here: th-cam.com/video/XgXG_d--4Z4/w-d-xo.html Including measurements, kiddo sizing, fabric sandwiches...and a little snark clapback...
So glad y'all are digging the tutorial. Paper size and Mask measurements are also in the caption box on both videos! 💕 always, The Harriells
Betsy
I really don't know why, but I'm loving the way you did this video. Your 'almost snarky' way of talking. You've got me intrigued with ya... Now Imma stalk ya channel a bit. LOL!
Hahahaaa! Please do!
OMG
A. You're beautiful and make me smile.
B. Your husband/significant other reminds me of mine (and I just LOVE him, mine I mean 😂)
C. I love this pattern and can't wait to make it. Its the best 3D pattern yet (and I've made a ton of 'em let me tell ya!)
D. THANKS 🤗👋👍😁 (oh, and I've subscribed 👍)
😁😁😁thank you for every bit of that!
Such a great tutorial, thanks! I made one and my glasses wearing husband tried it and was saying how pleased he was that his specs didn't steam up. So I was explaining how cool it was that the pattern pieces were the same shape and he asked "oh, is this the bath woman" (as he'd been watching the video over my shoulder). When confirmed it was the "bath woman" pattern, he said "I'll run you a bath...... when you've made 1001 masks".
Your masks are the best. Thank you so much. I have learned a ton and I am a 76 year old retired art teacher. You go girl! JH
The stars aligned tonight and brought me to your channel, I love everything about this tutorial! Thank you both for being another awesome bright light for us! 🥰🥰 SUBSCRIBED and LIKED!
💗💗💗thank you so much!!
I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed this video!! Thank you for sharing. P.S. Your hair is fire!!! 🔥🔥
Haven't made a thousand masks but have made several hundred, this pattern looks great, I'm gonna try it, thanks!
Love , love, love this easy to follow mask tutorial. Thank you Marcy...and Ron too👍🏼🙏🏽🤙🏼
Okay, I've made these masks before (they're my husband's favourite), but your small tweaks (the extensions on the front panel and the bias channel for a nose wire) make both the finished product AND the process of making them SO MUCH BETTER. Thank you! This is now my go-to mask pattern.
Thank you, this is my new favorite pattern! (While my mask-making count is only in the mid double digits , I too am exhausted of making them)
I like how this pattern can be easily adjusted for those of us with smaller faces. I can't tell you how many mask tutorials I've followed, only to end my hard work with a mask that covers my nose, mouth, and my eyes. Frustrating.
Great tutorial! I'm definitely going to try this one. Quick and to the point and you are hilarious! We need that...
What an adorable couple! So cute and funny! I agree with the hair and she is beautiful!
You have a happy, fun way of teaching how to make a mask. You are a very good sewing teacher, and you and your husband are adorable!
I just tried this style. I love it. Its easier to breathe. Doesn't stick to your face. Also doesn't fog up my glasses nearly as much. I'm going to have to make all new ones to this style.....
could you show which sides of the material we use for making the mask? Love it.
Ah good point! I use wax print or batiks to make mine, so right/wrong side isn’t obvious. I’ll include that in an update!
I had trouble with this too. the nose and chin pieces are folded wrong sides together. The main pieces are wrong sides out on the sandwich.
@@marlasaunders7137 thank you!
Favorite line: "I like to go with about 8 inches of length.............that's what she said."
😁😁😁I can’t help myself!
Seriously THE best line EVER! 🤣
🤣🤭😁
My boyfriend says this all the time. So now I simply say, "Who's she?" His response now? "You're she." Darn tootin' I am! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
You two are so cute! Nice to have someone with a fun personality during all this chaos.
😊 thank you, might as well make a trying task fun as possible!
With a shortage of elastic I decided to use a 1’”slice of used pantyhose leg instead of elastic. It curls into a soft roll on your ears and there’s no knots-very comfortable. Loved the video
I smiled and learned what more could I want?
Ditch the safety pins and try hemostats. Works great to fish the elastic through short tubes.
Hey 😊 be safe votes can count!!
Ah I’ve been meaning to get my hands on a hemostat!
Great video, but I'm struggling with the sandwich and which is right side out or in. Any help would be great.
First, place the interior main piece right side up. Next, place the flaps on top of the interior main piece. Last, place the exterior main piece right side down on top of the flaps. That's your sandwich!
Frances is exactly right, thankya Frances! I’m doing a visual update this week 💗💗
Should the two pieces in the middle be folded right sides together or wrong sides together?
@@tonidrummond3312 The flaps should be folded wrong sides together.
@@francescovington2720 Thank you for clarifying, because it was hard to tell in the video. I ended up sewing the mask completely wrong because I though everything was right side up based on how the fabric looked in the video.
My husband JUST asked me for a seamless mask! This is right up my alley! Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm just learning to sew (I bought my first sewing machine in March just to learn to make masks for the family). I've been getting all my 'training' on youtube, , and have only made about 25 masks so far. I was looking for something to keep my husbands glasses from fogging up, but the regular duckbill and pleated masks just don't work well for him, even with a metal nose piece.
Your video came up in my feed before I even searched for a 3D mask, and I'm so glad it did. Your video was entertaining, and straight to the point. I just finished a mask, and I can't wait for hubby to come home to try it out.
Thank you so much!
I’m so glad to hear that! I hope you use your new machine for some bigger projects soon 💗
Ur adorable to watch! Definitely going to try this. I'm a beginner in sewing, but this seems easy enough to attempt. Thanks!!!
You said "don't be scared," but you have a bandage on your finger - if you're the pro, I'm scared 🤣🤣🤣
Cilcy BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! This made my morning 😅🤣😅🤣🤣
Marcy, I have been making your masks for a few weeks now, and I have to tell you everybody LOVES THEM! Including me. They are the most comfortable and good looking ones I have made. Kudos to you and these awesome masks. Thanks so much.🥰
MARCY--- You Rock! Cut a new template after watching your tutorial 3 weeks ago. Totally delighted with how much easier YOUR 3-D approach works compared to what I used before! Output about 50 masks since without the "turnout" nightmare. BTW - I use 10" elastic pulled through a pony bead (then knotted) so the ear pieces are adjustable. That little add-on helps fit the mask with a good seal across different sized people. Again, THANK YOU for your levity and love. :-)
Has anyone tested this mask with glasses? I have trouble finding a mask that doesn't fog my glasses.
try washing the lenses with baby shampoo, then rinse. Lots of youtubes recommend that. I heard there's also a spray you can use.
I haven't found anything yet that works all the time. I wear a mask all day at work. I find after a while that my breathing adjusts and my glasses stop fogging.
I found that by using a coffee tie (as Marcy recommends) for the nose piece works wonderfully with glasses. At this time, as we can't shop for non-essential items where I live, I've just ordered a bunch through Amazon. My glasses didn't fog up. My husband and son had the same result.
Try a crochet hook to pull the elastic through instead of using a safety pin.
Lisa Robinson mind. BLOWN.
Plus they are sold at the $ store
Hey, Marcy, Use glue or clips, not pins. Creepy crawly covid can get through those pin holes.
Best ever home sewn mask - best ever tutorial - Yea! glasses not fogging yet... thank you.
I made my first fabric mask today thanks to your tutorial. Super easy to follow even for a beginner to sewing. The mask fit perfectly even without the nose piece. Thank you for your clear and entertaining explanation!
