    I have followed the video and have made many many masks. Her instructions on the video are excellent and very very easy to follow. She also includes templates which are again very easy to download and print. This is the BEST video I have watched for mask making. Who needs written instructions when the video is so very very easy to follow

    I've made close to 90 masks of various patterns for family, friends, elderly. I've tried many different styles, all with filters made from Filti material. I wanted a fittable nose piece, a filter pocket, no-gap fit and the mask should be high enough to help keep glasses from fogging. Either the filter pocket was hard to access or was too small to cover the mouth and nose. This is the best and easiest pattern by far. Fits like a glove without puckering under the chin or at the sides. It also fits up under my glasses (I used the XL pattern and a 1" fold for the elastic side channels instead of 1/2" so it wouldn't extend past my ears). My ears are too small to keep ear loops from slipping off with my glasses but it was easy to insert a 27" piece of elastic, run it through both side channels and convert it from ear loops to over the head and behind the neck fit. Thank you for an easy pattern and a great video tutorial!

    My favorite mask to date!!! As added protection I sewed water resistant interfacing on the face lining (all four layers right side to right side) at once; turned and cut back the water resistant interfacing by 1/2 inch so it wouldn't show under the lining. Thank you for this! The easiest of all masks with much less fabric waste!

    I'm so glad you made a larger version and a child's version. I love making this mask but the original pattern was, sadly, a tad too small for my face. I just printed it out, however, and it's really a lot larger than the original. I would love it if you could create one in-between the two. thanks

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Happy to hear you like the larger and child version. I did make just a tad bit change to the original but not much in size. You might double check to make sure you are not printing the XL or XXl. here is the Adult size lelesdesigns.com/olsonmask2.pdf . If you need to make adjustment you can print at 90% if you need it smaller or print 110% to make it larger. Hope this helps.

    Your teaching is excellent - very easy to understand. Great mask and thanks for free patterns. I found that the nose bridges break with just a little pressure and must be removed before washing. A friend left one in the mask and the glue stuck, the bridge broke and could not be removed. Just a heads-up.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You so much! Yes I would suggest not putting these in the dryer if you are putting the nose bridge in. I hand wash mine and hang dry. Then I press them to kill any germs. Once in awhile I throw them in the wash. so far they have held up without any bridge broken. I do need to update this pattern to make it easier to take the nose piece out as there are some really cheap nose bridge on the market and not everyone has the time to hand wash. I would suggest to maybe stick the nose bridge on the outside for now. Thank You for your sweet comment and bringing this to my attention.

    Thank you for the great pattern. I also needed a size between the regular and Xlarge, so I printed the Xlarge at 90 percent. That seems to work. I do something a little different for the nose piece. After doing the topstitching, I again stitch 1/4" to 3/8" from the topstitching. I like to do this second row on the reverse side to eliminate puckering. This creates a tube to insert the nosepiece. Works great. The wire is then removable if desired.

    Thank you. I am a novice and have not tried an Olson mask yet. Your teaching video is excellent. Very clear and understandable. Great commentary! Helps so much better then annoying music. Anxious to try it. Could you suggest a way to modify so I could use the comfort elastic but go around the head rather than behind the ears like a standard respirator type mask. My ears get so sore. I did try a band to attach the ear elastic but that isn't ideal. Thank you again. Excellent!!

    I found a way to help the nose stand away from the face. You'll need small strips of Oly-Fun fabric. It's a polyurethane fabric that washes well. Anyway just cut a small strip about 1/2 wide (you can make it wider and then trim away too much excess) and I sew this right into the center curved seam. It provides a bit of stabilization that seems to help keep that seam from puckering and sticking to the face. I have used it on both the liner and the outer fabric. JoAnn fabrics might have this Oly-Fun fabric. You can also buy some at Amazon. Just a tip that might help someone else.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your pattern makes this mask so much easier to sew. (1) I find that the narrowest part of the Olson mask - top to bottom at the part where the ties attach - is too tall. The mask gathers instead of lying flat so I want to make it narrower at this point. (This gathering is obvious when you look at a picture of someone wearing the mask). Should I reduce the height at this point by taking away from the top or bottom or both? (2) When the mask cups the chin, it easily pulls down to uncover the nose, especially when talking. I think that it should be a bit less fitted under the chin. Your thoughts? Many thanks, Lele and others.

Planning ahead I brought the iron and her wrinkled veil was no more. By any chance do you have a look for the blue pointer thingy you were using? I see it has a rubber like tip on one side and I can really use one of those to guide my fabric. Thanks for your videos and patterns!

    This is a very nice and easy mask pattern. However, I made up two in the XL size for two large men. The sides go way up over the ears. Before fitting it to the man, I had to fold over the ends twice with a generous fold. After the one man tried it on, I had to take the sides apart and put in a pleat on each side to make the sides a little shorter, and then refolded twice. The face part of the mask is also very large and moves up and down when he talks. I will try again after I've altered the pattern some on the sides, and will probably take much larger seam allowances. I've made almost 200 masks, so I THINK I know what I'm doing. Just don't know what went wrong with this one.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank You! Have you tried to see if the lelesdesigns.com/olsonmask2.pdf mask fit him as that mask will fit some men as long as it covers the nose, mouth and chin you might have to add more elastic to it for him.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      if the one that fits most don't fit. I just made a new size that is smaller than the XL you used. It is here lelesdesigns.com/olsonmaskxl2.pdf I think this should fit better if you are folding in the sides.

  • @ekg1041

    Thank for so much for the different sizes.. I was wondering if I can use a regular ole tee-shirt for my mask material or do I need something a little more sturdy? Thank you for any insight..🙂

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you can but I have not tried it. I would test it on some junky shirt first before cutting your favorite shirt. You might have to make it a tad bit smaller as knit will stretch so printing at 90% might work. The good is these take no time to make. For the test You should only have to make the front of the mask and sew the curve part then fold ends in and pin temporily. then check in the mirror to see if it fits before proceeding.

    • @ekg1041
      @ekg1041 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have a medium size pattern for this mask? Would you consider doing a video using directional fabric for these masks? Could you show how to cut the directional fabric out? I have a problem every time I use directional fabric. I have had to scrap a few masks due to the fabric going the wrong way. I get very frustrated with myself as I can't wrap my head around it. I really like this pattern, very easy to make. Your instruction is very clear and easy to follow.

    • @Lelesdesigns

    I love that pink fabric you use as a table-top. And the very cute little iron, I saw that in another vid just today.
    This is the simplest mask design I've seen! I also love how you sew one then immediately start the next without even cutting the thread. Do you not need a backstitch or doesn't it matter?

      I found this breathable wearing on a airplane that was 3 hour flight. Total time wearing it 5 hours I did not use a filter as I have a hard time breathing with any mask. I just recently made this expandable one th-cam.com/video/GJe3fNVEaI8/w-d-xo.html but only tried it for 30 minutes which is a little easier to pull down. Though I think it is a matter of preference.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Happy to hear this worked. Another thing if you made the first one and did not prewash the 100% cotton fabric. Maybe throw it the wash and dryer and see if if it fits better as it should shrink a little. Hopefully others will see your great idea and if anyone ask I will share you info. Thank You

    Do these masks fit without puckering in middle. I have made several masks and they pucker right around the mouth. I've sewn straight down thru middle which helps. Now have about quarter-size pucker. The pleated masks do not do this but then they are not rated as high. I prefer this type. It's driving my OCD brain crazy. I wish I was an engineer. Any suggestions?

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It might depend on how tight or loose you have the ears. I get very little pucker if any on mine but I have it a little more snugged

    Hi Lisa. Thank you for an amazing tutorial. Could you please guide me how I can size the pattern for my grand daughters age 10 and almost 13. I read in another tutorial of yours to resize the pattern but am having difficulty deciding what percentage to increase the child’s pattern in this video. Also not sure what size and length elastic I should use. Thank you so much.

    • @Lelesdesigns
      @Lelesdesigns  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your Welcome! It is really difficult to determine the size without seeing the face. My granddaughter is 9 and she has a wider face and the adult size fits her. My guess would be the adult size. The child size pattern will probably be too small. If your looking for a custom fit. I would suggest making 1 adult and determining if you need to make it smaller. If you do then print at 95% - 90% or how much you think will work. For the elastic follow my instructions toward the end of the video where you use a safety pin to determine the size. If you are sending out of town then just send them the elastic separate and have them put it in.

    • @zenobiadadina5117
      @zenobiadadina5117 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I prefer making the metal nose piece removable, so I don't sew the ends closed. Additionally, before adding the channel for the nose piece, I also topstitch about 1/8" (rather than 1/4") from the edges of the mask and topstitch BEFORE folding the ends over & making the channels for the elastic; that way, the topstitching is continuous to the ends of the mask. After doing the topstitching, I then add stitching for the nose wire/metal; stitching for a length of approximately 2" on each side of the center, then insert the wire. (No concerns of accidentally hitting the nose piece when topstitching either.) :)
